Luanne Dominix was recently recognized for winning the
first place in the Royal Canadian Legion Provincial
Senior Poster Colouring Remembrance Day Contest.
The Grade 11 student at Ascension Collegiate in Bay
Roberts received a certificate and approximately $200 in
cash.
In addition, Mr. Speaker, on July 1, 2008, Luanne
will travel with Legion members to Beaumont Hamel,
France, to visit war memorials honouring the fallen
soldiers of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Kearsty Ryan, a Grade 9 student at Amalgamated
Academy, placed second in the International Poem
Contest.
Mr. Speaker, Kearsty’s poem honoured her late
uncle, Corporal Jamie Murphy, who was killed while
serving with the Armed Forces in Afghanistan. Kearsty
received a certificate and $100.
Luanne’s poster and Kearsty’s poem have been sent
to the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command to be
judged on the national level.
I ask all hon. members to join me in extending
congratulations to Luanne and Kearsty and Branch 32 of
the Royal Canadian Legion, Bay Roberts.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
