Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the constituents of the greater Moncton area, I rise in the House today to congratulate Mr. Andrew Campbell who was awarded the 1997 Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence.
A teacher at the MacNaughton Science and Technology Centre in Moncton, New Brunswick, Mr. Campbell has been chosen for a certificate of achievement and has been awarded a cash prize of $1,000. This amount will be used to purchase resource materials, teaching aids and other tools to help enhance the teaching environment at the MacNaughton Science and Technology Centre.
We should always take the time to recognize and to thank our teachers for their dedication to promoting the development of our children.
Once again, I speak on behalf of everyone in the greater Moncton area when I say to Mr. Campbell, thank you for your wonderful contribution and congratulations on your well-deserved award.
