Mr. Speaker, the Protected Areas Association of Newfoundland and Labrador held its twelfth annual Province-wide competition and announced its winners on April 22, which coincided with Earth Day. The selections were made from 489 entries from seventeen schools throughout the Province and were judged by a distinguished Newfoundland and Labrador artist and Protected Areas Association patron Christopher Pratt. I would like to congratulate Taylor Rae Groves who won first place in Primary division, Matthew Buckle who won first place in Elementary division, and I am also proud to congratulate and recognize Michael Thomas, a Grade 5 student, and Christy Groves, a Grade 12 student, who both received honourable mentions.
