Mr. Speaker, today I want to acknowledge some exceptional volunteers from my riding of Saint Boniface.
During the Easter break week, I attended three volunteer appreciation banquets at local community centres. Many incredible teams contribute to the success of these organizations, and community centres could not survive without dedicated volunteers.
Each club had countless people to thank, but awards were given out at each event to highlight those who have gone above and beyond.
I would personally like to congratulate special award recipients Morris Deveson, Neil Denyer and Terry Moon, from the St. Vital Curling Club; Ken Hiebert, Brian Pedden, James Sansom, Richard Balog, Alain Laurencelle and Ken Murdoch, from the Heather Curling Club; and Joyce Webinger, Sam Tascona, Eugene Fillion and Gail Adolphe, from Notre Dame Recreation Centre.
I ask the House to join me in congratulating these recipients and thank them for their hard work.
