Mr. Speaker, in 1939 the ladies auxiliary branch 229 of the Royal Canadian Legion was founded. Recently it celebrated its 60th anniversary in Elora, which is in my riding of Waterloo—Wellington.
Formed to help the cause of the second world war, the ladies auxiliary branch 229 has worked hard for many years and been extremely active in the community. This ladies auxiliary branch continues to do a great deal of fundraising in and around Elora for worthy causes.
I urge all Canadians, especially my constituents, to join with me in congratulating these courageous and hard-working women, many of whom have been involved in this cause for a great part of their lives. Their many efforts do not go unnoticed. We must constantly thank Canadians such as the women of the ladies auxiliary branch 229 for helping to make Canada such a great place in which to live.
