RESOLUTION NO. 2484
HON. MARK PARENT: Mr. Speaker, I hereby give notice that on a future day I shall move the adoption of the following resolution:
Whereas in recognition of International Adult Learners' Week from March 3rd to March 9th, celebrations were held in more than 50 countries across the world where what is being done for literacy in Nova Scotia and Canada was recognized; and
Whereas across Nova Scotia the week was celebrated with a writing contest designed to promote the benefits of learning in the home, at work and in the community, and to highlight the many options available to adult learners in this province; and
Whereas Sherry LeBouthillier of Halifax, Kelly Carter of Port Williams, Kings County, and Stephanie Nickerson of Barrington Passage, Shelburne County, were winners of the province-wide writing contest hosted by Literacy Nova Scotia in partnership with Labour and Workforce Development;
Therefore be it resolved that all members of this House congratulate Ms. LeBouthillier, Ms. Carter and Ms. Nickerson for their achievements in literacy, and thank Ms. Ann Marie Downie of Literacy Nova Scotia for her constant support of literacy initiatives in this province.
Mr. Speaker, I request waiver of notice.
