Susan Leblanc: Blue Toes for Blue Nose - Member's Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER: I rise today to wish my dear friend and colleague, the member for Dartmouth North, the best of luck this weekend as she braves the ice-cold waters of our shared Lake Banook in the Blue Toes for Blue Nose fundraiser.

Alongside other celebrity dippers, the MLA for Dartmouth North will be jumping into the freezing, paralyzingly cold waters of Lake Banook, which may need to be cleared with icepicks, to help raise money for the amazing Dartmouth Family Centre in the Dartmouth North Community Food Centre.

It's a truly awesome and fun event, although I have to say I am happy it's happening on her side of Lake Banook, thereby sparing me from doing the same.

As the event takes place in Dartmouth North, I'll be happy to cheer her on and hold the towel when she emerges from the icy lake.
