Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I rise today to recognize and congratulate the
officers of Loyal Orange Lodge 151 of Ramea on hosting a
successful convention in Ramea.
This is the 137 annual convention of the Grand Orange
Lodge of Newfoundland and Labrador. The convention is
being attended by members from all over the Province as
well as from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario. The
convention began this past Friday and will run until
Wednesday of this week. Albeit Ramea is a small
community, they can accomplish big things. The way they
have organized this event and billeted so many people in
that community is amazing.
I had the pleasure of attending their banquet this
past Saturday evening and meeting many of the
enthusiastic participants. Yesterday they held a church
service and parade with a thirty-five piece band who
were bussed in from the Avalon Peninsula, actually,
especially for the occasion.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join
with me in extending congratulations to the members of
Loyal Orange Lodge 151 on hosting a successful
convention at Ramea. You should be very proud of the job
you are doing and we wish you well with the remainder of
your convention.
Thank you |
