My Lords, Honourable Judges,
Masters;
My name is Enns, initial R and I
appear today in 3 capacities.
As an elected official of the
District of Coldstream I bring greetings from and the support of the citizens of
the District of Coldstream. The District has supported this event today because
the citizens recognize the tremendous economic importance of having a Courthouse
in our community.
As a Solicitor I can say that many
benefits flow to our citizens by having a Probate Registry, a Small Claims Court
and a forum for resolving major commercial disputes.
We understand this building and the
services provided here improve the quality of life in this
region.
As a good skier and a bad faller I
can say that today I have seen the others with crutches and canes. I did not
see any wheel chairs today.
It maybe time, and I am speaking to
my fellow elected officials, to look to the next hundred years and think with
vision about replacing this building with a new facility.
I would also like to commend the
volunteers of today’s event.
Thank you, Councillor Enns, for representing Coldstream at this momentous occasion.
