I rise today to recognize and congratulate Corporal
Michael Durnford of Rose Blanche-Harbour LeCou on his
service to our country and his safe return from
Afghanistan.
Corporal Durnford is a member of the Military Police
with the Canadian Armed Forces, and he recently returned
from a successful tour of duty in Afghanistan.
Michael’s mission in Afghanistan involved training
members of the Afghan police force in modern and ethical
police methods. Michael was stationed in Afghanistan for
seven months.
Corporal Durnford is the son of Calvin and June
Durnford of Rose Blanche-Harbour LeCou and he is married
to the former Karen Chislett, also of Rose Blanche-Harbour
LeCou. Michael and Karen are currently residing in Shilo,
Manitoba, and are expecting their first child.
I was proud to attend an open house and dinner at
Rose Blanche-Harbour LeCou on November 14 in honour of
Michael’s tour of duty. There was a huge turnout, and
the support from the residents for one of their own was
overwhelming.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join
with me in extending thanks to Corporal Michael Durnford
on his service to our country. All the best to Corporal
Michael Durnford and his family.
Thank you. |
