"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6322026\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize the incredible work of the Westend Seniors Activity Centre located in my riding. Led by Dr. Haidong Liang, the centre's dedicated staff and volunteers serve over 3,200 seniors across the city. Always a centre of excellence for serving seniors, it has been their work during the pandemic that has placed them head and shoulders above the rest. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6322027\" data-originallang=\"en\">Moving quickly from in-house to online and outreach, Haidong himself hosted an eight-week fitness program for seniors among the 40 courses offered online. They obtained bulk PPE and made it available for sale at cost. They made over 7,000 calls to shut-ins to ensure that those in isolation heard a friendly voice. They started a frozen meal program, making healthy low-cost meals for delivery right to seniors' homes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6322028\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have always said the Westend Seniors is the best seniors centre in western Canada. Haidong and his team make it very easy to fact-check that this is true.</p>",

Dirig\u00e9s par M. Haidong Liang, les employ\u00e9s et les b\u00e9n\u00e9voles d\u00e9vou\u00e9s du centre servent plus de 3 200 a\u00een\u00e9s de la ville. Cet organisme a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 un centre d'excellence pour les a\u00een\u00e9s, mais il s'est vraiment distingu\u00e9 pendant la pand\u00e9mie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6322027\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le centre est pass\u00e9 rapidement d'une offre de services \u00e0 l'interne \u00e0 des services en ligne et mobiles: parmi les 40 cours offerts en ligne, M. Haidong a lui-m\u00eame organis\u00e9 un programme de conditionnement physique de huit semaines pour les a\u00een\u00e9s. Le centre a obtenu de grandes quantit\u00e9s d'\u00e9quipement de protection individuelle qu'il a revendu au prix co\u00fbtant. Les membres du centre ont fait plus de 7 000 appels aux personnes confin\u00e9es afin qu'elles entendent une voix amicale. Le centre a lanc\u00e9 un programme de plats congel\u00e9s, qui a pour but de pr\u00e9parer des repas sains et abordables qui sont livr\u00e9s directement aux r\u00e9sidences pour personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6322028\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai toujours dit que le centre d'activit\u00e9s pour les a\u00een\u00e9s de Westend est le meilleur du genre dans l'Ouest canadien. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 M. Haidong et \u00e0 son \u00e9quipe, il est tr\u00e8s facile de constater que c'est vrai.</p>"
