Mr. Speaker, I want to remember somebody special to me. Daljit Bains was a husband, father and strong pillar in the Surrey community. He helped anyone who came to his door. Whether someone was marginalized or in need of a job, he would help them with a meal and some work and even get them a job. If someone was a new immigrant, he would help them settle in. If someone was a visitor, he would lend them his home. He was a neighbour who checked in, kept the neighbourhood neat and tidy and helped others when they needed help in the garden. Daljit was an ideal citizen, a great Surreyite, my uncle and someone who will always remain in our hearts.

Mr. Speaker, in honour of Black History Month, I want to acknowledge the great work of organizations that highlight Black voices and support the Black community in Surrey. Solid State works with local youths to build co-ops with support from professionals, providing training and employment opportunities. Co-ops like Daily Dose of Blackness use various platforms to share stories that centre around and celebrate Black youth experiences. BLAC is a Black youth-owned and youth-operated gallery and performance space opening this year that will support young Black artists and events as well as BIMPOC artists of all ages. The Kingdom Acts Foundation is involved in a number of initiatives, including community development, youth mentoring, food security and much, much more. I also want to thank the Great Light Healing Community Services Society, a very lively and energetic group that delivers various programs to help seniors, particularly Black Canadian seniors, learn online literacy and cybercrime prevention techniques, all while having a blast. Lastly, the Nuru Training Association and the Umoja Operation Compassion Society of British Columbia work with newcomer immigrants and refugees and provide various educational, technical and vocational training opportunities. I thank them for the work they do to support our community, and happy Black History Month.
