Mr. Speaker, today Sean Doherty of Iqaluit, Nunavut received a 2002 TD Canada Trust Scholarship for Outstanding Community Leadership.
Sean organizes and teaches swimming for disadvantaged children in Iqaluit. These Loonie Lessons let the children have fun in a safe environment while teaching them listening and interpersonal skills. Sean is also president of the student council at Inuksuk High School, volunteers on a phone help line, sits on a youth court advisory panel, and represented his high school and Nunavut at the Canadian Youth Against Impaired Driving Conference. Sean plans to pursue a medical career, returning ultimately to Nunavut to practice medicine.
I proudly ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Sean and wishing him success in his future plans. I want to thank Sean, Mutna.
