Introduction of Guests (12 November 2025)

From Hansard (12 November 2025)

 

Dawn Kobayashi & Angela Heidel

Hon. Terry Jenson: — Well thank you, Mr. Speaker. This afternoon I have a couple of guests in the west gallery I’d like to introduce. First of all, seated in the west gallery, is my chief of staff, Dawn Kobayashi. This is Dawn’s first time in the Assembly during routine proceedings, and I thought it’d be appropriate to introduce her. She came to us earlier this summer, and she has been an absolute treat to work with. She’s extremely well-organized. She’s very intuitive and she’s a terrific team leader, Mr. Speaker.

And joining Dawn this afternoon is my wife, Angela. She drove down from Warman this morning. And it’s her second time in the Assembly; it’s her first time to be here for routine proceedings, Mr. Speaker. She is an amazingly talented woman, you know, puts family first at all times. And she is a terrific cook; she’s always trying new recipes and feeding our family very, very well. Earlier today, Mr. Speaker, we had a chance to have lunch together. We had some Greek chicken and some lemon roast potatoes. And you know, there’s a reason she’s here today, Mr. Speaker. She took the day off to be here so that we can celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary today.

Mr. Speaker, it’s been said in this Assembly many times before, we are unable to serve the people of Saskatchewan without the love and support of our family. And with that, I would like to just say to my wife, Angela, thank you for everything you do for me to allow me to be down here to serve the citizens of Saskatchewan. It’s truly an honour, and I look forward to many, many more years to come.

So with that, Mr. Speaker, I’d like everybody in the Assembly to welcome Dawn Kobayashi and my wife, Angela Heidel, to their Legislative Assembly.
