Mr. Speaker, last week I got to show off Milton's amazing velodrome facility to the Minister of Canadian Heritage. This was a great reminder that Milton has such a strong culture of active living, something I hope to highlight as the parliamentary secretary for sport.
Recently the Sherwood Community Centre also opened its doors to the public in Milton. With an amazing library, pool, fitness studio and two rinks, this new community centre is exactly the sort of space that will allow for families and young people to learn, grow and play.
Just this month two young athletes, Maddie Schizas and Lia Pereira, who trained at the Milton Skating Club, finished on the podium at the Canadian Tire National Skating Championships.
In the spirit of my riding's commitment to active living, I am happy to announce that on February 2, between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., I will be hosting a free skate at that Sherwood Community Centre. I have heard there is a little football game going on that night, but those who would rather participate in a sport than watch it are welcome to come and join us at Sherwood.
