Mr. Speaker, as we approach the 2023 Canada Winter Games, I rise to recognize over 5,000 volunteers and organizers who have been hard at work for months and, in some cases, years. The presence of the games has been felt in P.E.I. for months now, with community torch relays and final touches being put on venues. While Mother Nature has proven difficult at times, organizers have done a great job adapting to the situation and exploring innovative solutions. Island communities look forward to the opportunity to showcase all they have to offer, with over 3,500 athletes and officials descending on P.E.I. next week. As we move into the weekend and the opening festivities, I want to thank the organizers, volunteers, and municipalities for all their work in making these games happen. To the athletes, I say, play hard, play safe and go P.E.I.
