Women of Excellence
Mr. Speaker,
London, Ontario has produced many notable Canadians over time and
the tradition continues.
This year, the
YMCA of Western Ontario is honouring several remarkable Londoners
with Women of Excellence Awards.
Each of these
women has given of themselves for the betterment of others in our
London community in specific fields.
They include:
·
Joy Warkentin for Education, Training and Development,
·
Karen Pincombe for Arts, Culture and Heritage,
·
Marlene McGrath for Business, Professions and Trades,
·
Jean Wright for Community, Volunteerism and Humanity,
·
Sandra Cooper-Ryder for Sport, Fitness and Recreation,
·
Dr. Sagantha Ganapathy for Health, Science and Technology,
·
Nicole Seymour was recognized as a Young Woman of Excellence, and,
·
Joan Francolini was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award
These women make
a positive difference in the lives of hundreds of Londoners every
day.
To these women,
on behalf of all Londoners whose lives you have touched and from
this House of Commons, let me sincerely thank you and congratulate
you on your achievements, and for caring.
