Introduction of Guests (7 December 2021)

From Hansard (7 December 2021)

 

Mike & Shirley McLeod

Mr. McLeod: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you, it gives me great honour today to introduce in the west gallery, my parents Mike and Shirley McLeod. Mr. Speaker, my parents reside in Martensville where I was born and raised. And I’m delighted that they were able to make the trip down to join us here today and get a tour of this wonderful building.

Both of my parents, Mr. Speaker, devoted their careers to education in this province. My father was a teacher, a principal, and ultimately the director of education for Sask Valley School Division, which now forms part of Prairie Spirit School Division. He was also the former mayor of Martensville and has sat on various boards and associations along the way.

My mother was a teacher and educational assistant for approximately 35 years, which is quite a feat in and of itself, but in addition to that she also raised my two brothers and I, which I believe qualifies her for sainthood. Mr. Speaker, my mom also volunteered for practically every community activity available while I was a child, and was named Martensville’s Citizen of the Year, although I won’t say how many years ago.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all the members of the Assembly to join me in welcoming Mike and Shirley McLeod to their legislature.
