This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on May 14, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER: Mr. Speaker, today, May 14, is Municipal Awareness Day, and I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the work of the local municipalities in my district.

I encourage all residents to say thank you to their councillors and I, personally, would like to thank the municipalities in my district, namely Upper Island Cove, Bishop’s Cove, Spaniard’s Bay, North River, Bay Roberts, Clarke’s Beach, and the Local Service District of Makinsons for a job well done.

Mr. Speaker, we often take for granted the services that are provided by our local governments, such as services providing communities with clean water, sewerage disposal, streets and recreational services, to name a few.

On this special day that has been set aside for Municipal Awareness Day, I ask my hon. colleagues to join with me in thanking our councillors for a job well done in making each place a better place to live for all residents here in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
