 We are honored by your presence with us today in the community of British Columbia. You and all of the previous recipients who are here today make our province better. It really does come down to individuals, to each one of us to decide what it is we are going to do to make the world better. Thank you for all that you've done. Thank you for inspiring us with your example. Congratulations. To be called and told that I was going to be made a member of the Order of BC was just a huge honor and then to come today and hear about the other recipients was something incredibly special and also to share this with my family and friends who are here. So I've always been proud to be from British Columbia and it's this whole event it's made me even prouder. British Columbia is home for me. You know I could take my shoes off and show you my webtoes as a Vancouverite. This is where my political base was as an elected person and I just feel I'm very much part of this this province. You make us very proud for what you've done, for what you've given, for how you've led us and every British Columbia is uplifted by your presence and by what you've done for us.
