Mrs. Leanne Rowat (Minnedosa): Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the accomplishments of Gladys Simpson. On Tuesday, October 25, 2005, Mrs. Simpson was awarded an honourary mention at a reception hosted by the Manitoba Council on Aging. She received the award for her continued commitments to both seniors and the community at large, and I would like to offer my congratulations to Mrs. Simpson for this honour.
Mrs. Simpson is a resident of the town of Rapid City, Manitoba, and is quite active in community organizations and activities. Among her activities are her work as the editor of the community newspaper, her membership on the local agricultural society, her continued efforts with the community fair, her organization of the annual community craft sales and many others.
On top of all of this, she has been a member of the Valleyview seniors group for 15 years during which time she has served in all offices including president of the organization. Mrs. Simpson is truly a valued member to the community and is instrumental in the production of a countless number of community events.
I would also like to highlight the fact that the award she received from the Manitoba Council on Aging is one that a person has to be nominated for. Three fellow citizens from Rapid City nominated her for this award, and this goes to show that not only does she work tirelessly for her community but the community truly appreciates her efforts and wants her to be recognized by the province at large as a valued citizen of Rapid City.
Mr. Speaker, I would once again like to congratulate Mrs. Gladys Simpson on her award from the Manitoba Council on Aging and wish her continued success in the countless community organizations and projects she is a part of in Rapid City. Thank you.
