 We are here today on the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Order of British Columbia. Today we will bestow the highest form of recognition the province can extend to its citizens. No ye that in recognition of serving with the greatest distinction and excellence in a field of endeavor benefiting the people of the province of British Columbia or elsewhere. On the nomination of our advisory council to the Order of British Columbia and with the approval and on the recommendation of the Executive Council we do by these presence invest you with the Order of British Columbia and we do hereby admit you to the membership of the said order together with all and singular the rights privileges and advantages to the order pertaining or which of right ought to appertain to the same. You know our job is big to look after each other to walk together as one to make our parents proud. I think that people that live here even if you've come later in life you do feel a tremendous sense of pride in being in this province and I think part of why we have become so involved is a reflection of that that that pride. We saw the people who make our community an incredible place to live and this concept not just about forgiveness but about civility and a civil society it's so important because it counters all of the forces that tend to pull that apart. It is the charity and giving nature of Canadians I believe that bind us together we have a commitment a universal commitment to public services like health care and education and social services but we also have I believe at our core a sense that we need to help each other out and the philanthropy and the service and the giving of our 15 recipients this year are a testimony to that. I think it's important for people to think about those who are around them in their workplaces in their communities who've made extraordinary contributions and to make the effort to bring them forward as nominees. I felt in my mind was a good opportunity for children for the future to see what people have done so that they can follow the same plan and the issue really is to help people and makes a better world if you can do that and give you time and effort but feels good to be part of that process. I really think that recognition like this isn't the end but it's really the beginning and I feel quite humbled and they give me that support so I intend to use this recognition to keep on giving. You're an inspiration to British Columbians certainly you're an inspiration to me you give me hope for a better world you really truly do. I'm deeply honored to be in your company today. Thank you so much.
