Mr. Speaker, on this World Environment Day, I would like to congratulate all those who are taking real action to protect the environment.
This year, supported by their devoted principal and teachers, about 30 students participated in the CFER program at Riverdale High School.
Thanks to their skills, to the stockrooms and machines in their school, as well as to the good co-operation they maintain with different companies, these students recycle televisions and computer systems. With the Caravan project, they also visit elementary schools to raise awareness about the environment and recycling.
They can be proud of the important work they do for our community.
Other initiatives also deserve to be recognized, including: the Pierrefonds-Roxboro Éco-quartier, which demonstrates leadership in waste management and in the cleanliness and beautification of our community; the Ferme Bord-du-Lac, which provides local, organic produce to people from the region; and the City of Dollard-des-Ormeaux, which offers an organic waste collection service.
There is still much to be done, but in my riding we are taking real action for the environment and we can be proud of that.
