Mr. Speaker, on March 28, I had the honour of visiting the Châteauguay Valley Career Education Centre, which is part of the New Frontiers School Board and located in Ormstown. After six years of hard work, they have finished their “our house” project. In partnership with Habitat for Humanity, the project will give one LEED certified house each to two families in need from the region.
During my visit, I met a dedicated team that truly wants the students and their community to thrive. The house was built for the most part by students from the centre and volunteers. The teachers trusted their students to contribute to their community.
It reflects the solidarity and the will to help one another in our region. I am really proud of this project, established in Haut-Saint-Laurent.
I congratulate the team behind the our house project. It is showing how important it is, on a daily basis, to get involved as citizens. It is leading by example. We thank the team.
I would like to thank the centre’s entire team, the volunteers, and the partners.
