 My answer, I'm Kostya, provides representation and support for lesbians, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, intersex, asexual, queer, transsexual, miscarriage of families. We promote equality in the rest of the free work environment. Acting discrimination in the workplace means addressing and acting discrimination in our communities and communities and problems. What we do is promote the opportunity to involve in the leadership of the community, advocate and educate around our members of the issues within the community, create safe spaces for our experiences, knowledge and expertise, promote options for the communities in the pride and solidarity of the community. Currently, we have two campaigns of their members who have been involved in more than the same school. We have one that is out of care, a lot of the long-term care resources that we got entered, that out of care of the social service that I have received, training for the needs of the same schools in the community, that schools and their boards are inclusive, preferable and positive for all of us. I wrote down a few brief comments to be prepared. It's not that I'm very unprepared. It's a big topic that can be dangerous. I just want to say thank you for facing co-pride in all the organizations. This is an event that a year and a half ago I never really envisioned being at, certainly not being at one stage. So I want to begin by acknowledging my fellow nominees in this category and expressing my delight, having been included in your company. Tina Nowan, Dr. Marissa Broadway-Norman, and Steven Lewis who couldn't be here tonight. The work that each of you do is important. It's inspiring. This life's a new life. Don't ever stop. And we thank you very much. It's truly, I just want to thank the mayor of the Sunshine City. It's certainly my pleasure to be here on behalf of the rest of the council, and for that matter, I'm very grateful to the citizens of Avala, Rilia. And I would truly like to recognize the efforts of entertaining simple pride and for this event tonight, for the events that we run throughout the year that creates an atmosphere of inclusion and awareness. And so thank you very much. I'd also like to recognize, if I could, it's not just the city. There are a number of things that go on within the city, but I'm really a soldier for the Royal Hospital. It's well represented here tonight. And I'd like to thank you very much. We are the City Initiative 10U. I was with you from the council tonight. A few years ago, I'm at the board of the hospital. I actually moved before a motion forward to enshrine in hospital legislation. So this is in place for the elderly community. So thank you for that. The other initiative that we started a few years ago would make our community a little happier, a little healthier. It's called the Sunshine Initiative. One of the initiatives that came out of that was a creation and an advertising marketing of safe places that are really, oh, I can't believe that plan is one. So I would like to just recognize those who brought that forward. Anyway, I would just like to say to you, Brandon, and to the committee, thank you for installing the board pride at the City of New York. Thanks very much. Good evening. I'm Lieutenant Colonel Australian McKellick, and I'm the commanding officer of the base administration branch at Borden. It is a great honor and privilege to be here tonight. The real recipient of this award really goes to Sergeant Shannen Vickery standing beside you. Before I pass the mic over to her, Brandon mentioned that in 2016, Borden raised the pride of life for the first time. At that ceremony, we had eight people attending. Fast forward to 2018, we had over 100 people and getting ourselves out there. So without further ado, so I don't know if this is bad luck or not, but I compare it to speech. So on behalf of the Borden Pride Network, I'd like to, first of all, thank Fierté Cinco Pride for all of their hard work this year. Round of applause for Brandon and Christine. That work was founded in 2016 with the assistance of Fierté Cinco Pride. It all began with the Pride Flag Racing Ceremony and the rest of Cisteria. Although our main objective is to provide social support to our community and our forces members, we also recognize the importance of community involvement. We understand that showing up in uniform once a year for a pride parade simply isn't enough. Our network started with three individuals and we've grown to over 30 LGBT community members and allies. We've had our successes and some failures. One thing that we're very good at in the Canadian Armed Forces is teamwork. I couldn't accept this award without thanking the people who make the Borden Pride Network a success. I'd like to thank our new Defense Team champion, Lieutenant Colonel McCullough, for attending with us this evening. She's our network liaison. So basically to the CFE Borden Base Commander, so in civilian terms, that means that she gets things done and fast. Lieutenant Bernard, this is the second year attending the Gala and he loves it. So we came back again this year. Thank you so much for all of your support. And the Borden Pride Network wouldn't be here today if I didn't have such an amazing team. So thank you to my partner, Stacey, my left-hand woman. You've been around for all of the events to help support me, to listen to all the pride talk. And I very much appreciate it. I love you. For much for your infinite ideas and dedication to each and every event. I really appreciate it. Corey, you're a shining star. Your passion inspires me. Amy and her maid, Bill, she's new to our committee. She's actually our photographer this evening. She's an ally and we very much appreciate her for coming. So thank you. And finally, Lynette, you've been here since the very beginning. I worked very hard on this committee because of your smile and because your generation will see better results than mine did because you are you. Thank you.
