Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a beloved northerner and a friend who passed away last week. Patricia Rose Cyr, better known as Gail, was a former Yellowknife city councillor for a decade and worked tirelessly for the advancement of indigenous people. Gail had a passion for justice and was a strong advocate for women.
In recognition for her lifetime of dedication to helping others, she was a recipient of the Order of Canada in 2021. She leaves behind an incredible legacy.
My condolences to her family and loved ones at this difficult time. We are going to miss her.
Mahsi cho.
