Introduction of Guests (2 March 2026)

From Hansard (2 March 2026)

 

Guests from Salvation Army

Hon. Terry Jenson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To you and through you this afternoon, I’d like to welcome eight guests seated up in the west gallery from the Salvation Army, Mr. Speaker. We’re joined today by Major Karen Hoeft as well as Major Al Hoeft, Major Ed Dean, Lieutenant David Hipperson, Major Ian Scott, Captain Derek Kerr, Ms. Tracy Desjarlais, and Mr. Stephen Morgan.

Mr. Speaker, the Salvation Army is an international Christian organization that began work in 1882 and has grown to become the largest non-governmental direct provider of social services in the country.

Mr. Speaker, the Salvation Army is a valued partner that supports some of the most vulnerable in our province. Through emergency shelter operations, warming centres, emergency after-hours supports, and trusteeship services and so many more other services, they provide critical assistance to individuals and families when they need it most.

Mr. Speaker, I had the pleasure of meeting with all of them earlier today, and I’ve spent a great deal of time on site at some of their facilities around the province. I look forward to continuing our work with them well into the future.

On behalf of our government, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the individuals here from the Salvation Army today, as well as all of your colleagues, for the fantastic work that you do across Saskatchewan. And want all members to join me in welcoming all of these individuals from the Salvation Army to this their Legislative Assembly.
