Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the accomplishments of the Burlington Teen Tour Band, role models to Canadian youth.
The Burlington Teen Tour Band is committed to excellence in music and has achieved recognition both nationally and internationally in travelling around the world as true ambassadors for Canada and for our city.
On April 28 the Burlington Teen Tour Band is going to Holland to represent all Canadians at the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Holland. Burlington is proud of these youths and of their parents and many supporters and volunteers.
While the band is in Holland it will be playing in the national parade in Apeldorn and at the remembrance service at the Groesbek war cemetery. I take pride in all the members of the Burlington Teen Tour Band as they represent Burlington and our country.
It is important we recognize the outstanding accomplishments of Canadian youth. The Burlington Teen Tour Band represents positive leadership for all Canadians. I salute it in its accomplishments and send it my best wishes for a fabulous trip.
