Mr. Speaker, this week we celebrate National Volunteer Week, a time to honour those who make our communities stronger, kinder and more connected. Over the past year, I have had the privilege of recognizing outstanding volunteers and community leaders through monthly spotlights and community leadership awards, individuals like Jocelyn Hynes, Maranne Currie, Whitney Green, Steve and Gina Deveaux, Christina Lamey, Dennis Shea, Matt MacDonald, Angie MacDonald-Fraser, Heather Kerr and Faith Dillon, along with groups like the Cape Breton University hockey team and the volunteers of St. George’s church. Their compassion and dedication remind us that meaningful change begins at the community level. I invite all members to join me in thanking the volunteers of Sydney—Glace Bay and volunteers across Canada for all they do.
