Mr. Ed Holder (London West, CPC): Mr. Speaker, the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation has awarded four Londoners with prestigious Millennium Excellence Awards. What superb students and community role models.    

Younjei Chung of Oakridge Secondary School has achieved great success in Junior Achievement and fund raised for charities. During one campaign he organized 14 events and raised $13,000. As well as being musically inclined, he also campaigns against child sweat shops.

Alyssa Craik, also from Oakridge Secondary has put her heart and soul into Make A Wish Foundation. She is a leader among her peers and has raised school spirit immeasurably and participates in many sports.

Ifrah Hashi rounds out the trio from Oakridge. She has a passion for environmental causes and helping the less fortunate. She started ‘Reading Sisters’ to help girls in Somalia learn to read. She has also started a micro-credit organization called ‘Barrows of Hope’.

Radha Joseph from London Central Secondary School is editor of the school newspaper and a phenomenal violinist and concert master. She also helps less fortunate children afford participation in music through Arts for All Kids.

Congratulations for their achievements. I know we will hear much more from these four remarkable Londoners.
