MACKINNON, ANGELA: DUNCAN ROACH UNSUNG HERO AWARD RECIP. - CONGRATS.
Joining us in the gallery today are members of the Maritime Tamil Welfare Association. Please forgive me if I do a disservice to the names. I apologize. I can barely pronounce my name, so we'll go with that. President An…

TNVM: LOCAL ORG. - RECOG.

EECD: FRIENDS FOR LIFE CHILD CARE CLOSURE - ADDRESS
