ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 9-17(3): MICHAEL GILDAY – WORLD SPEED SKATING RECORD
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to acknowledge and congratulate my constituent Michael Gilday, a member of the four-person team achieving a new world record in the qualifying rounds of the men’s 5,000-metre speed skating relay.
Competing at the International Skating Union World Cup in Calgary this weekend, Michael Gilday and his teammates, Charles Hamelin, Francois Hamelin and Oliver Jean, set the record at six minutes and 32.909 seconds. The team finished with a Bronze Medal in the final 5,000-metre relay race Sunday night. Gilday also finished Friday with a Silver Medal in the 1,000-metre individual race.
I invite all Members to join me in offering hearty congratulations to Michael and his teammates. Michael, you make us proud.
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. The honourable Member for Deh Cho, Mr. Nadli.
