MLA: Kevin Falcon - Surrey-Cloverdale

 
We ask for Your blessing on MLA: Kevin Falcon today.  Thank You for his years of service to British Columbians as both an MLA and a Cabinet Minister.  As he prepares for a new career outside of politics, we ask that You would direct his steps. Lead him on a path that will bring him great joy and satisfaction.   Help him to complete his term with excellence as he serves his constituents and the people of British Columbia as a private member.  Bless him, his family and his staff today. Amen.

As well, Minister Falcon has previously overseen a capital program that includes the Kicking Horse Canyon, the Sea to Sky Highway and the William Bennett Bridge, among many others.
