On October 23, 2008, I participated with 200 others in
Project Michael at All Hallows School in North River.
Fifty ladies of the Moving for Health exercise group
formed a committee to honour Master Corporal Michael
Neil, who is presently serving with the Canadian Armed
Forces in Afghanistan.
The group decided to send Christmas boxes to Michael
and his troops as a way to say thank you for their
demonstrated loyalty to their country.
Michael’s parents, Rosemary and Wilf Neil of
Clarke’s Beach, were elated with the tremendous
support and the knowledge that twenty-four boxes filled
with gifts and treats were on their way to Afghanistan.
The organizing committee and the staff and students
of All Hallows School are to be commended on a very
successful project.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all hon. members to join me in
saying thank you to those who were involved, and to pray
for a safe return for Michael and all those who serve
with him.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
