Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary achievement of Canadian paralympian, Jolan Wong, who proudly brought home a bronze medal from the 2024 Paris Paralympics. As a dedicated and resilient athlete, Jolan has become a symbol of strength and perseverance, both on and off the court. Jolan has inspired countless Canadians with her determination and dedication to sitting volleyball. Last Sunday, she was awarded the key to the city of Pembroke. Her remarkable achievement is not just a testament to her personal drive, but also a shining example of the power of sportsmanship.
Jolan's victory in Paris is a victory for all Canadians who believe in pushing boundaries and celebrating excellence. We congratulate her for representing our country with such distinction and thank her for inspiring a new generation of athletes. Please join me in celebrating Jolan Wong and her teammates' accomplishments.
My thanks to Jolan.
