I rise in the House today to congratulate organizers,
participants and winners from the Northern Heritage fair
that recently took place at Mountain Field Academy in
Forteau.
Mr. Speaker, on May 2, young people from Grades 4-9
gathered at Mountain Field Academy to display their
heritage projects. There were fifty-four projects from
twelve schools representing the Northern Peninsula and
Southern Labrador.
Many aspects of our heritage were showcased with
imagination and creative displays featuring topics such
as traditional music, Sir Wilfred Grenfell, and the
expeditions of Bob Bartlett.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Brady
Belben, a Grade 6 student from St. Paul’s Elementary
who won best overall display, entitled: The Great
Discovery of Voisey’s Bay. He also won the Imperial
Oil Foundation Award and first place in the Grades 6-7
category. He will now go on to represent this region at
the national fair being held in Ottawa in July.
I ask all members of the House to join with me in
recognizing the contributions our young people make in
keeping our heritage alive and congratulate everyone
involved in pulling together a successful event.
Thank you. |
