Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 24 wordsI rise today to remember the life of a remarkable daughter of Prince George, Alexandria “Alex” Garneau, who tragically passed away on August 20.¹Procedure Claims · 107 wordsAlex was an exceptional athlete at high school, collegiate and national levels, ²but Alex’s impact on our community went far beyond her athletic career. Her smile, her laugh and the energy she brought to every room and every person she met was infectious. She gave back to the community as a coach and became a dedicated hockey mom supporting not only her own children but countless young athletes and families. Her family described her as the glue that held them together.³ Her father-in-law said, “She was the best of us”, ⁴and her husband Jordan described her as a person who made their house feel like a home.⁵ Reasoning · 74 wordsAlex’s death reminds us to cherish the ordinary moments we have together, because when someone we love is gone, sometimes it is not on the big occasions when we would give anything to have them back. It is one more morning, one more game of crib, one more drink on the deck, one more conversation when nobody is watching the clock; just one more. It is one more ordinary moment with someone we love. Thanks · 22 wordsTo Jordan, Josie, Jackson and the entire Garneau, Miller and LeBrun families, please know that their Prince George community stands with them.Thanks
