Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I rise in this House today to congratulate Bradley
Rumbolt from Mary’s Harbour on receiving the
provincial volunteer recognition award and the community
Volunteer of the Year Award for his hometown of Mary’s
Harbour.
Mr. Speaker, the provincial volunteer recognition
award is given to volunteers who have shown to be
valuable in improving the quality of life of others
through lasting contributions to the advancement of
recreation and has helped to improve the quality of life
among individuals within their community.
Mr. Rumbolt started volunteering in recreation in
1991, when he was sixteen years old, and has served on
the Mary’s Harbour Recreation Committee every year
since that time. He was involved in sports and decided
to join to be a voice for the youth and to create more
opportunities for young people to participate in various
sports. He was also instrumental in constructing an
outdoor ice hockey rink for the community, which was
also used as a softball field during the summer. Most
recently, he was the driving force in getting a junior
Canadian Ranger squad in the communities of Mary’s
Harbour, St. Lewis and Lodge Bay, providing activity for
more than sixty young people in those communities. This
has definitely been a career highlight for him as a
volunteer.
I ask all members in this House to join with me in
congratulating Bradley Rumbolt, who is also my youngest
brother, on receiving the recognition award for
volunteering in recreation and the Volunteer of the Year
Award for his home community.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
