Mr. Speaker, Peterborough schools are famous for their support of the Terry Fox Run. Over the years our schools have consistently led the nation in fundraising and participation.
This year was no exception. Nine Peterborough schools raised almost $200,000 for cancer research. However St. Peter's Catholic Secondary School set a new standard. The school raised over $80,000, the most ever raised by a single school.
I ask all members of parliament to join me in congratulating all those associated with school Terry Fox runs this year. As we do so, let us give a special thought to Peterborough schools and especially to St. Peter's for its magnificent efforts.
Terry Fox ran through Peterborough 21 years ago. He would be proud of these young people and their contribution to his wonderful cause. I say to go, St. Pete's.
