Mr. Speaker, Mary Fay is welcomed back home to the village of Chester, Nova Scotia as a world champion.
The 17-year-old curler skipped her Canadian team to victory at the World Junior Curling Championships in Denmark earlier this month. Mary and her Nova Scotia teammates, Kristin Clarke of Halifax, Karlee Burgess of Truro, Janique LeBlanc of Fall River, and fifth, Sarah Daniels, along with their coach Andrew Atherton were undefeated in round robin play where they faced off against teams from around the world. Mary was also recognized with a sports woman award for the tournament.
I also want to recognize the outpouring of support and pride for this extraordinary team of young women in communities across Nova Scotia.
Finally, I want to offer congratulations from the House to the Canadian men's junior team that won bronze at the world championships.
Congratulations to all once again. They have done us proud.
