I stand before you today with a heavy heart. My heart goes out to all those affected by this terrible event. As your potential leader, I vow to work tirelessly to improve road safety measures in our community. We cannot sit idly by and watch as accidents like this continue to occur. This is not just about statistics and numbers. It's about the lives of our loved ones, friends and neighbours. Together we can create a safer, more secure future for our community. Thank you.
