Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, the best of the best cribbage players from across Ontario descended upon the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 614, Scarborough Centennial, to duel it out for the Ontario championship and a spot at nationals.
I am proud, although not surprised, to inform the House that the winning team and provincial cribbage champions are from my home branch, Branch 383, Tara. I give a huge congratulations to my parents Tom and Mabel Ruff, my brother Andy Ruff and long-time family friend Terry Galbraith on their masterful performance, with a record of 15-3, that crowned them Ontario champions. Now heading to Windsor, Nova Scotia, to Hants County Legion Branch 009 for the Dominion Cribbage Championships on April 24 to 26, I trust the member for Kings—Hants will be there to welcome all the participants.
On behalf of all the constituents of Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, I wish Tom, Mabel, Andy and Terry the best of luck and may the cards fall in their favour. Go, team Tara!
