"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8384548\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the name Marina Clemens is synonymous with Drouillard Road and the community of Ford City. It is where Marina founded Drouillard Place and dedicated her life to building a community that looks after its neighbours and the most vulnerable. She was a fierce advocate for affordable housing and a champion for our community's homeless.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8384549\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we celebrated the 145-unit Meadowbrook Lane project, the first housing project built in our community in 30 years, her response was to the point; she would say to build more.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8384550\" data-originallang=\"en\">Her son Jason said his mother lived her faith and always put people first, and she never asked what was in it for her. Marina Clemens passed away this week, and Windsor lost a great, great leader.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8384551\" data-originallang=\"en\">If we ever need to find our way, all we need to do is head to Ford City. There we will find her street, her Drouillard Road, renamed Marina Clemens Way. It is the way of service above self.</p>",

Marina Clemens est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e cette semaine, et Windsor a perdu une tr\u00e8s grande cheffe de file.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8384551\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quiconque cherche la voie \u00e0 suivre n'a qu'\u00e0 se rendre \u00e0 Ford City.
