First, I want to thank Community Futures—especially Anna and Corey. Without your support, this wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you as well to FCSS, and a special shoutout to Raymond J. Cowell for all of his support. Thank you to Bonnyville Gear Grabbers I know some of these kids will be heading to the track!
I also want to recognize the amazing youth in this group. You are all an incredible group of kids, and I truly enjoyed hearing from each of you.
A special mention to Sara and Chloe for their food drive for the Humane Society; Lucas for being a great role model; Kylie for connecting with seniors; Zander and Hayden for their inspiring ideas and community involvement; Norah for her dedication to volunteering; Ivy, Keiera, Gracia, Brayden, and Janel will be involved in upcoming cleanups and bottle drives; Brianna for her work at the volunteer fair and commitment to the community; and Jackson for his many volunteer hours and hockeysupport. I also want to recognize Erica—although she couldn’t be here tonight, she is an outstanding young person.
I’m so grateful to have been part of this group—thank you all.
