Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to a group of volunteers leading a relief effort for the Kosovo refugees, the likes of which we have not witnessed in many years.
These volunteers from Angus, Ontario have been working diligently for many weeks collecting enormous quantities of clothing, toys and much needed goods. When I visited their facilities this past Saturday I was astounded at the mountains of donated goods I witnessed. These great Canadians have collected an amazing 40 tractor-trailer loads of goods.
On behalf of my colleagues I want to congratulate Rita and Dan Heffernan, Tamara and Larry Culham, Carmen Angus, Bill Dunkley, Vera McIntosh, Shirley and Bill Coleski, Teha and Tasha Brown, Ralph Hodsdon, Janet Dalton, Suzanne Finck, Lori Ignatov, Thea Lavoie, George Nitsche, members of the St. John Ambulance corps and cadets, and the 2408 Base Borden army cadets.
They make us all proud to be Canadians.
