This Member’s Statement was presented by Marshall Dean in the House of Assembly on March 22, 2011
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Straits-White Bay North
MR. DEAN: Mr. Speaker, I rise in this hon. House today to congratulate Tracy Pittman, a former resident of Cook’s Harbour who recently received the Dominion Command Bursary from the Royal Canadian Legion. Ms Pittman was one of two provincial recipients who were presented with this annual award. Recipients must be enrolled in a two-year program and be a child or a grandchild of a member of The Royal Canadian Legion. The bursaries are presented across Canada and come from the Poppy Trust funds.

Ms Pittman is currently studying midwifery at Ryerson University in Toronto and plans to return to the Province to work when she has completed her course. The $1,000 bursary will be used towards her studies.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join with me in congratulating Ms Pittman on receiving this bursary and to wish her well in all her future endeavours.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
