Public Safety Telecommunicators; Order of Eastern Star Members

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you, seated in your gallery, it is my pleasure to introduce Rachelle Gruber, Britton Callander, Leah Fuchs, and Chris Clemett.

Rachelle, Britton, and Leah are emergency dispatchers from the Regina Police Service, and Chris is the executive director of engagement and enterprise projects for the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, Mr. Speaker.

Our guests are present today to join us in acknowledging Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in Saskatchewan. We recognize and appreciate the very vital role that emergency dispatchers have in saving lives, and I want to acknowledge and express our gratitude to these individuals for their devotion to serving the public. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of our government, I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome Rachelle, Britton, Leah, and Chris to their Legislative Assembly, thank them for their work and for keeping Saskatchewan people safe.

And while I’m on my feet, Mr. Speaker, to you and through you, also seated in your gallery, it is my pleasure to introduce three members from the Order of the Eastern Star Saskatchewan chapter. Joining us are the Worthy Grand Matron, Lynne Moffatt; the Worthy Grand Patron, Ray Moffatt; and the General Grand Chapter ambassador to Quebec, Donna Sanders.

Mr. Speaker, Lynne and Ray have served as heads of the order for the past year, which will conclude with the upcoming Grand Chapter session in Moose Jaw from April 25th to 27th. They are long-standing members of the community of Moose Jaw, where they raised five children.

Mr. Speaker, Ray is now retired from farming and his trucking company. Donna is a retired nurse who raised three children here in Regina and is also a recipient of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal.

The Order of the Eastern Star is a worldwide non-profit organization whose goal is to make a positive difference in the world with charitable works, lasting friendships, and loving-kindness to all mankind. Here in the province of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan chapter has embodied these ideals throughout their history, including recent fundraising efforts to support the Canadian Mental Health Association and service dog services.

I would ask all members to please join me in welcoming these three guests to their Legislative Assembly.
