Mr. Speaker, I would like to share with members of this House the pride we feel in my riding of Calgary North at the achievements of Ms. Sri Chaudhuri.
Sri Chaudhuri is a grade 12 student at Sir Winston Churchill High School in northwest Calgary. She has just received top honours at the National Science Fair in Guelph, Ontario. Sri won six awards including best overall project, the gold medal in the physical sciences division, and the Manning award for innovation.
Her project demonstrated it is possible to use high frequency sound to break down toxic organic compounds that contaminate the environment.
Sri is the first young scientist from western Canada to have won this national honour.
Today as we remember the men and women who fought valiantly to safeguard our future, it is especially fitting to celebrate the achievements of a new generation of young Canadians like Sri Chaudhuri who is conquering obstacles to help preserve our environment.
On behalf of the citizens of Calgary North, I extend sincere congratulations to Sri Chaudhuri.
