Mr. Speaker, this summer was an incredible season across the riding of Vancouver Granville. From local festivals such as the dragon boat races on our shore to the community days that were held across our riding, our neighbours came together in so many ways to showcase the vibrant spirit of our constituency.
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers and community members who helped make all these events possible, in particular our own summer gathering, which saw hundreds of people come out to share food, stories and ideas. It was a testament to the strength of our community and the dedication of those who give their time to bring us all together.
Our constituents, including some who are in the gallery today, are the heartbeat of Vancouver Granville. Their engagement over the summer months has once again shown us that when we come together, we build a stronger, more connected community. I am honoured to carry their voices and their hopes back to Ottawa as we continue our work together here in the chamber.
