ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 4-17(2): CANADIAN RANGERS
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On January 26, 2012, the Canadian Rangers welcomed its 59th patrol to the Northern Canada Group. Based on their website, the Canadian Rangers are the military eyes and ears in the North, hence their motivation. They’re watchers. There are 163 patrols across Canada. Many are Aboriginal and speak a native language. I want to acknowledge those people who make this a reality in the Northwest Territories and those who encourage them.
The Canadian Rangers provide a vital service to our country. It is important their commitment and dedication is acknowledged by everyone.
Deline has 16 volunteer Canadian Rangers and are now part of a larger family of over 1,500 in the Northern Canada Patrol Group. Congratulations, Deline, for setting an example through hard work and being role models for others to follow.
