This Member’s Statement was presented by Kelvin Parsons in the House of Assembly on March 31, 2009
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Burgeo & LaPoile
MR. PARSONS: I rise today to recognize and congratulate Leah Prosser of Port aux Basques on being the first local junior curler to win her way to the nationals.

Leah was a member of the Gateway Curling Club at Port aux Basques for eight years, all through junior high and high school. She is currently attending Memorial University at St. John’s and a member of the Bally Haly Club. Her team mates include Alysha Renouf, Kylie Power and Erin Porter.

The ladies won the provincial Under 21 competition at Stephenville in early January and went on to represent the Province in the national Under 21 Women’s Curling Championships in British Columbia in early February. Although the team did not win, they did make an admirable showing with each game coming down to the very last shot.

Leah is the daughter of Richard and Gertie Prosser of Port aux Basques.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join with me in extending congratulations to Leah on being a member of the winning team for the provincial Under 21 curling competition and a good showing at the Nationals. All the best to Leah, her team mates and her family. Way to go, ladies!
