Newfoundland and Labrador

This Member’s Statement was presented by Yvonne Jones in the House of Assembly on September 8, 2009
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Cartwright-L'Anse au Clair
MS. JONES: It gives me great pleasure to stand in this House today to congratulate a magnificent young woman from Red Bay who has just recently been crowned the new Ms Canada Galaxy.

Mr. Speaker, Sherrylynn Butt recently competed in Ottawa as Newfoundland and Labrador’s representative in the Canada Galaxy National Pageant and walked away with the title. As winner of this competition, she will now go on to represent Canada at the Galaxy International Pageant being held in Orlando, Florida in 2010.

Ms Butt is originally from Red Bay but now lives and works in St. John’s as the marketing and sales manager for Provincial Airlines. She is also a very strong volunteer in the community. She has represented this Province as Miss Newfoundland and Labrador in 2003, and won her first national title in 2006. Ms Butt won over the judges with her personality and her confidence, which is a major part of the competition. She will now carry on with the responsibilities of being title holder and immerse herself in Galaxy’s chosen charity, which is the Sunshine Dreams for Kids. She also plans to continue her efforts in promoting literacy.

I ask all members of this House to join with me in congratulating Ms Sherrylynn Butt, who is a great ambassador for Newfoundland and Labrador.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
