Madam Speaker, on July 6, Knights of Columbus Council 5005, which is affiliated with Saint-Jacques Parish in Hanmer, will celebrate its 50th anniversary.
I would like to invite the House to join me in wishing a wonderful anniversary to this organization, which has done so much for the community.
The generosity of its members has benefited countless people through fundraisers for the food bank, schools, charities, service groups and Saint-Jacques Parish.
For example, last December, the Knights of Columbus Council 5005 helped distribute Christmas hampers to 142 needy families.
This parish's suppers are legendary in Hanmer: they attract hundreds of parishioners and citizens.
On behalf of the riding of Nickel Belt and the House of Commons, happy 50th anniversary to the Hanmer Knights of Columbus Council 5005.
