Daniel is a member of the JCR Mary’s Harbour Patrol whose patrol earned the right to compete on behalf of this Province by winning the provincial competition earlier in the year. Daniel won the marksman competition with a perfect score of 300 out of 300. The competition also featured team competitions and Daniel, along with Nicholas Cumby and Paula Russell from Mary’s Harbour, and Ocean King and Jerome Bradley from St. Lewis, won second in the team competition, behind Nunavut.

Mr. Speaker, this competition features the best of junior ranger patrols from across Canada and provides an opportunity for young people in rural and remote areas of our country to come together and to demonstrate their skills and to meet new people.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join with me in extending congratulations to Daniel Johnson and to the team from Newfoundland and Labrador for their tremendous success during the Junior Canadian Ranger National Marksman Competition.
