This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on September 9, 2009
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER: Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

On Tuesday, September 1, 2009 I had the pleasure to join the Bay Roberts Sea Lions Swim Team for their annual banquet and presentation of awards.

The event was held at the Bay Roberts Lions Club following a parade through the various communities.

This is the fifteenth year in succession that the Sea Lions have returned home from Gander as provincial champs, an accomplishment to be very proud of.

The top achievers were: female, Alyson Thomas, and Marc LeGresley in the male category. Marc also broke the provincial record in the backstroke in a time of 38.99 for the eleven to twelve age group. Provincial best awards were presented to eighty-eight individual swimmers.

I ask all hon. members to join me in congratulating the Bay Roberts Sea Lions on becoming the 2009 provincial summer swim team champs.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
