Mr. Speaker, last Saturday my wife, Larissa, and I, along with my fellow Conservatives, the hon. members for Regina—Wascana and Regina—Qu'Appelle, had the pleasure of attending the 32nd annual Evening in Greece, a signature cultural fundraiser supporting the Hospitals of Regina Foundation and the Autism Resource Centre. It is an amazing event filled with live music, outstanding Greek cuisine and, of course, the traditional breaking of plates.
Put on by the St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Community of Regina, over its 30-year history the gala has raised more than $3 million to support health care and community programs in Regina and area. We keep this marked on our calendar every year because it is such an amazing event. I give a big thank you to the local Greek community, the sponsors and everyone who works so hard behind the scenes to make this event a success year after year.
