Young Warman Resident Helps Keep Community Clean

Mr. Jenson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Three-year-old Grayson Griswold has two passions: skateboarding and keeping the earth clean. Each time he heads to the Warman skateboard park on his bike, Grayson makes sure to spend time picking up any garbage that has been left over from the big kids the night before. He also looks out for his fellow bikers and skateboarders as well, making sure the paths are clear for them all to safely enjoy.

Mr. Speaker, Grayson’s good deeds are being recognized, as a photo of him cleaning up the park on social media caught the attention of his community. His community has been reaching out to Grayson and rewarding him for being such a great role model for the younger and older kids in his neighbourhood. Even the mayor, Gary Philipchuk, has thanked Grayson for his efforts as he recognizes how important it is for all of us to follow Grayson’s example and step up and take care of our communities.

Mr. Speaker, small acts of service can have such a huge impact on a city, and I think we can all learn a valuable lesson from young Grayson. I now ask all members to join me in thanking Grayson Griswold for his acts of generosity. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
