Alberta Legislature to commemerate Social Work Week
Hansard Thursday, February 25, 2010
The Speaker: The hon. Minister of Children and Youth Services.
Mrs. Fritz: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m honoured to introduce to
you and through you to all members of the Assembly three outstanding
social workers who have joined us as we recognize the first week
of March as National Social Work Week. We thank all social
workers across the province, who work hard to support our children,
youth, and families in our communities.
Our guests are seated in the members’ gallery, and I’d ask that
each of you rise as I introduce you to the members of the Assembly.
We have the executive director and registrar of the Alberta College
of Social Workers, Rod Adachi. We also have Line Brunelle, who
has her diploma and is currently completing her bachelor of social
work. Also, we have Connie Zacharias, who has worked in our
department for almost 25 years and is the recipient of the award of
excellence from the Alberta College of Social Workers. Well done,
Connie. She is joined by her husband, Richard, and her son Shane,
who, as he said to me earlier, is very proud of his mom. I’d ask that
everyone here please join me in giving the traditional warm
welcome of the Assembly.
