The following achievers from the District of Port de Grave were presented with their awards. In the bronze award: Jonathon Dawe, Coley’s Point; Jonathon Gushue, Spaniard’s Bay; Ryan Maynard of Shearstown; Laura Vokey, Spaniard’s Bay. The silver award: Miranda Brown, Shearstown; Calvin Galway, Clarke’s Beach; Paul Milley, Clarke’s Beach; Dylan Noseworthy, Bay Roberts. In the gold award: Shawn Dawson of Clarke’s Beach, and Bradley Rose of Coley’s Point. All achievers were from the Ascension Collegiate School.

Truly an event to remember, Mr. Speaker, as all participants so proudly received their awards. Each of them have, and will continue to work hard, as they accept and meet new challenges.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all hon. members to join me in extending congratulations to all those involved in making this event such a tremendous success, and in particular, to the forty-one achievers who received such a prestigious award. To all involved: Take the Challenge, Live the Achievement.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
