Mr. Speaker, fall fairs are occurring in my riding of Lambton—Kent—Middlesex and across Canada.
These fairs draw communities together and provide the opportunity for both children and adults not only to celebrate agriculture, but also their communities, the backbone of our country.
I am particularly impressed by the young people who put their names forward to act as ambassadors not only for their fair, but also for their community and the businesses in it. Each and every one of the contestants I have met so far show the qualities to be leaders throughout their life.
I extend my best wishes to all the young people who participate in the Fair Ambassador competitions. Each ambassador for their regional fair then goes on to compete for the Ontario Ambassador. Many times that title has been brought home to Lambton—Kent—Middlesex.
Fall fairs are not done yet, and I look forward to many more before the snow flies.
