Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I rise in this House today to congratulate three
Patrols of Junior Canadian Rangers and three individual
Junior Canadian Rangers from my district who recently
won awards at the first-ever JCR Provincial Air Rifle
Marksmanship Competition.
This event took place at 5 Wing Goose Bay and
participants travelled from all thirteen Newfoundland
and Labrador JCR patrols. The competition was a great
opportunity to demonstrate their skills and would
qualify two patrols to attend the national competition
to be held this month.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate all three
groups and individuals as follows: the first place in
rifle marksmanship went to the newest patrol in Mary’s
Harbour; the second place in rifle marksmanship went to
the Labrador Straits, and the third place to Port Hope
Simpson. The top shot for the competition was awarded to
Brett Clarke of the Port Hope Simpson Patrol, the second
shot to Derek O’Brien of the Labrador Straits Patrol,
and the third shot was awarded to Dillon Layden also of
the Labrador Straits Patrol.
The Mary’s Harbour and Labrador Straits Patrols
will now go on to represent the Province at the upcoming
national meet, and I would like to wish them every
success and look forward to their performance at that
meet.
I ask my colleagues in the House to join with me in
extending our congratulations to all of the participants
from all regions of the Province.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
