ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 23-17(5): KIRIANNE ASHLEY – WINNER OF FRENCH PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST CONCOURS D’ART ORATOIRE
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to acknowledge Frame Lake constituent Ms. Kirianne Ashley, a Grade 12 French immersion student at Ecole Sir John Franklin High School.
Ms. Ashley recently won a national French public speaking contest known as Concours d’art oratoire. First prize was a $32,000 scholarship to the University of Ottawa.
Kirianne was the first place winner at the territorial competition in the Late French Immersion category, and she went on to represent the NWT at the national finals in Ottawa last spring. It was there that she placed first in her category and won the scholarship.
Please join me in congratulating Kirianne Ashley on this very significant achievement.
