This Member’s Statement was presented by Yvonne Jones in the House of Assembly on March 19, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Cartwright-L'Anse au Clair
MS. JONES: I rise in this House today to congratulate the Junior Canadian Rangers of the Community of Cartwright. Mr. Speaker, they were recently selected as the top Junior Canadian Ranger Patrol for the 2007 training year. This represented the second consecutive year the patrol has earned this accomplishment.

The Cartwright patrol of the Junior Rangers was established in 2003 and is sponsored by the local Canadian Ranger Patrol and the community. It is open to membership by all youth between the ages of twelve and eighteen, both male and female, and its mandate is to provide structured activities in remote isolated communities across Canada where no other cadet organization exists.

Mr. Speaker, the Cartwright Patrol is one of twelve Junior Ranger Patrols in our Province, nine of which are based in Labrador and three on the Island who compete in a variety of activities, including: setting up a prospector tent, air rifle marksmanship and military drill. Attendance records and support from the community are also factors in determining the winner.

Mr. Speaker, I would like, for the record, to congratulate the twenty-one members and the three patrol leaders of the Cartwright Junior Canadian Rangers on their accomplishments and I would like to read their names into the record. They include: Samantha Anthony, Nicki Brown, Daniel Clark, Kellie Ann Clark, Shannon Clark Holwell, Marcus Curl, Jonathan Davis, Shannon Davis, Cody Dyson, Devon Dyson, Lindsey Jane Dyson, Victoria Gatehouse, Dylan Green, Cheryl Greenleaves, Jacob Knee, Hillary Learning, Brandon Morris, Brittney Morris, Chelsea Morris, Brandon Sainsbury and Roy Sainsbury. Their patrol leaders also include Master Corporal Anthony Elson, Corporal Monica Williams, and Ranger Scott Turnbull.

I ask the Members of this House of Assembly to join with me, not just in recognizing, but also extending our congratulations to the Cartwright Canadian Junior Rangersteam on this milestone, Mr. Speaker.
