JONES: |
I rise in the House today to congratulate Amy Park, a
fifteen-year-old native of Forteau, Labrador, and a
student at Mountain Field Academy, on being selected the
provincial finalist in the 2009 Canada Day Poster
Challenge for Newfoundland and Labrador.
Mr. Speaker, the Poster Challenge program was created
in 1987 and encourages young Canadians to learn more
about Canada, which makes them even more proud of their
country and strengthens their sense of belonging. This
year’s theme "With Glowing Hearts" was
depicted by Amy with an elegant and imaginative style
and was selected from 1,300 entries from across the
Province. The provincial finalist was chosen from among
the four finalists in four different age categories. Amy
will be among the thirteen provincial and territorial
finalists who will go on to participate in the national
Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa in June.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join
with me in congratulating Amy Park on winning the 2009
Canada Day Poster Challenge for Newfoundland and
Labrador and also to extend congratulations to the other
three provincial finalists.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
