Mr. Speaker, we had a very busy summer in Brampton and today I would like to highlight the incredible achievements of our residents in sports.
Bramptonians played in Copa America and represented Canada at the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. Brampton is Canada's cricket capital, and we hosted a world-famous G20 tournament, where global stars played at the highest level, inspiring us all. While a record-breaking ice hockey game, organized by the City of Brampton, raised over $1 million for our local hospital, all-age field hockey and kabaddi tournaments continue to grow in popularity. I was especially pleased to present awards to our youngest players at the children’s soccer tournament in Brampton South.
Sports are key to good health and well-being. Let us continue to celebrate our athletes and promote active living in Brampton and across Canada.
