Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise in
the House today and extend sincere congratulations to
Claude Normore on being honoured by the Canadian Coast
Guard Auxiliary with a twenty-five year service award.
Mr. Normore is a native of L’Anse au Loup and has
served as a volunteer rescuer for over twenty-five
years.
These awards are presented by the Canadian Coast
Guard Auxiliary annually to volunteer rescuers from
Newfoundland and Labrador, and Mr. Normore received his
award on the twenty-ninth Annual General Meeting and
Awards Banquet that was held in Corner Brook this past
fall.
Mr. Normore is a dedicated volunteer and has served
unselfishly with the Auxiliary since becoming a member
twenty-five years ago. During this time, he has served
as representative for the Labrador District for twelve
years, and has been responsible for assisting numerous
mariners in peril.
Mr. Speaker, there are 1,000 members of the Canadian
Coast Guard Auxiliary, and every year they respond to
over 100 calls and donate some 6,000 hours in support of
maritime search and rescue activities in our Province.
Mr. Normore is a proud member of this organization, and
his efforts are certainly appreciated and honoured.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of the House to join
me in congratulating Claude Normore on receiving the
Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary twenty-five year service
award.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
