JONES: |
I rise in the House today to highlight and recognize the
continued growth and success of the Junior Canadian
Ranger Patrols in my district.
Mr. Speaker, first of all I would like to
congratulate the Junior Canadian Rangers, their
corporals, master corporals and their sergeants from the
Cartwright Patrol who were recently selected as Top
Junior Canadian Ranger Patrol in the Province for
2007-2008. This represented the third consecutive year
this patrol has been honoured with this award.
Congratulations are also extended to Sergeant Roy
Sainsbury, who was honoured as Sergeant of the Year for
the Province’s Junior Ranger Patrol as well.
Mr. Speaker, the Cartwright Patrol is one of ten
Junior Ranger Patrols in Labrador, and one of five in my
district. They just celebrated their tenth anniversary
in Canada, and their mandate is to provide activities in
remote and isolated communities across Canada.
Mr. Speaker, I would also like to welcome a new
patrol that was recently established in my district,
consisting of fifty-nine youth from the communities of
Mary’s Harbour, St. Lewis and Lodge Bay, and headed by
Master Corporal Brad Rumbolt. This new patrol did
initiation training, and held a banquet in Mary’s
Harbour this past weekend. There were over 250 people
who attended the banquet, including other Junior Ranger
Patrols from the Labrador Straits, Cartwright and Port
Hope Simpson, as well as their Senior Canadian Rangers
and military personnel from the 5 Canadian Ranger Patrol
Group out of Gander.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members in the House to join
with me in congratulating the Cartwright Junior Canadian
Ranger Patrol on their success, and welcoming the new
Mary’s Harbour Patrol and their leaders to the Junior
Canadian Rangers movement across Newfoundland and
Labrador.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
