Mr. Speaker, I recently had the honour of congratulating an exceptional woman from Orléans, Roda Muse, on her appointment as Secretary General of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO.
Her career as a school board trustee, vice-chair of the Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario and lifelong public servant has earned her many accolades, including the “professional award” at the 2020 Soirée Saphir gala, an awards ceremony that recognizes female leadership in Ontario.
I am therefore not surprised to see her recognized once again, this time by such a prestigious organization. Her community building skills and her passion for the advancement of peace, diversity and tolerance certainly make her a great asset to that organization.
I congratulate her on this well-deserved recognition and thank her for all she does for our community and our country.
