Friday May 23rd I had the honour of being a guest at Great Plains College Graduation 2014 at the Kindersley Inn. Many grads walked across the floor embarking on a new season in their lives. Some of the students were quite young while others were much more seasoned.

My remarks were brief. Here is an outline:
- Congratulations on behalf of the Council of the Town of Kindersley and our residents for your accomplishment.
- Congratulations go to the many families of the students who made the sacrifice as their loved ones spent a year studying intensively
- More than 50 years ago President John Kennedy challenged the young people of America to not ask what their country can do for them but what they could do for their country.
- I asked the grads to consider:
- how can they make their work place, home, neighbourhood, and community more beautiful;
- to ensure they work so that their workplace and community is just;
- to contribute to their work place and community by enabling others, and themselves, to be fulfilled; and
- to have good relationships with those around them.
There were approximately 130 people in attendance.
