I will continue my tribute to the pages.

Alex Passmore will be graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science from the University of Ottawa next year. Next fall, Alex will be working as a tour guide at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France. Once he returns to Ottawa, he hopes to continue working on the Hill. Alex is immensely thankful for the opportunity to learn so much about the Senate and the democratic process over the past two years. He is grateful to the Usher of the Black Rod’s office and all the pages who helped make the experience so special.

Thank you, Alex.

Nicole Bucur has had the privilege of serving as a Senate page over the last two years. This fall, she is headed to Paris in an academic exchange at Sciences Po, returning to Ottawa in the winter to continue her bachelor’s degree in political science and public administration at the University of Ottawa. She is deeply honoured to have played a part, however small, in contributing to the essential work that the Senate carries out. She extends her sincere thanks to everyone — including senators, the Usher of the Black Rod’s office, Senate administration, support staff and fellow pages — who helped make her time in the program such a meaningful and memorable experience.

Thank you, Nicole.

Olivia Vincent has now graduated with a degree in health sciences and will begin her master’s degree in audiology at the University of Ottawa this fall. She is very grateful for this milestone in her journey and would like to thank everyone who contributed to making her two years with the Senate page team so rewarding and memorable.
