Mr. Speaker, seventy years is truly a
rare and valued milestone regardless of the occasion,
and I rise in this hon. House today to congratulate
Joseph and Mabel Peddle of Spaniard’s Bay on celebrating
their seventieth wedding anniversary.On December 25,
1939, they exchanged their vows at Holy Redeemer
Anglican Church, Spaniard’s Bay. The occasion was
celebrated on Saturday, December 19, at their residence,
at which time I had the honour to present certificates
from both federal and provincial officials.
Throughout the event, Mr. and Ms Peddle reflected on
their many memories and experiences to family and
friends who came to offer congratulations. At the ages
of ninety-one and ninety-three they enjoy good health,
and an appreciation for the many blessings that have
come their way. Being very active over the years with
their church and community, they are truly an
inspiration to us all.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all hon. members to join me in
extending congratulations to Joseph and Mabel Peddle on
their seventieth anniversary, and to wish them good
health for years to come.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
