Mr. Speaker, over the summer the Canadian national downriver kayak championships were held in Minden, Ontario, a town which is located in my riding of Victoria-Haliburton.
Today I would like to congratulate Monica Moisander from Lindsay, Ontario on becoming the Canadian national downriver kayak champion. This is her fourth title as she won in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
In her event Monica was up against a strong field of competitors but she still managed to win by a comfortable 10-second margin. Monica also competed for the first time in the slalom event where she finished a very respectable seventh.
Who knows, by the year 2000 we could see her competing at the summer Olympics. Way to go, Monica. Congratulations on your success.
