MEMBER’S STATEMENT ON CONGRATULATIONS TO FORT RESOLUTION 12 AND UNDER BOYS SOCCER TEAM

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I would like to recognize and congratulate the Fort Resolution Road Runners Boys 12 and Under Soccer Team who won a gold medal in Grande Prairie, Alberta, back in May of 2012. Although belated, I would like to acknowledge this team since I am proud of the team’s achievements.

The Fort Resolution Road Runners Boys 12 and Under Soccer Team also included a couple of girls 12 and under since there were not enough boys to complete the team. The team travelled to Grande Prairie, Alberta, for an annual children’s soccer tournament from May 27th to June 1, 2012. The team travelled under the supervision of their coach and chaperone, Wilfred Simon, also known as Rabbit.

The Fort Resolution Road Runners boys under 12 soccer team are no strangers to the children’s soccer tournament in Grande Prairie. The first year they travelled to Grande Prairie, Alberta, the Fort Res Road Runners won a bronze medal. The second year they won a silver medal. This year they won the gold medal.

I would like to individually acknowledge and congratulate the team members. They are: Isaac Simon, Darryl Balsillie, Ethan McKay, Johnny Bailey, Brendan Bourke, Jlyn Boucher, Samantha King, Chaslyn McKay, Kayliegh Hunter, and Bailey Chaplin.

I believe since the community of Fort Resolution gained a recreation centre, the children and community members alike have been very involved and active in sports. The recreation centre and the above is just an example of many more future achievements to be recognized.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. The honourable Member for Monfwi, Mr. Lafferty.
