DARTMOUTH FERRY CREW: OVERBOARD RESCUE - THANKS

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of the swift, skilled, efficient actions of the crew members on the Dartmouth ferry yesterday, whose fast action and response to a passenger falling overboard resulted in the rescue of that individual.

The Dartmouth ferry is a point of pride for many Dartmouth residents who daily enjoy the opportunity to be on the harbour for the cost of a bus fare. Thousands of people ride the ferry every day, and each day our safety is in the hands of the ferry crews.

Yesterday, the crew of the Vincent Coleman admirably showed their ability to act calmly and effectively in an emergency. We thank them and all first responders who respond to the call when someone is in need.

THE SPEAKER « » : The honourable member for Kings West.
