Mr. Speaker,London, Ontario is Canada’s Golden City.Long after the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver,
the golden glow continues in our community.
Londoners
are exceptionally proud of our local Olympians.
We sent six
athletes from our London region to compete in three sports and
every single one of them came home with a Gold Medal.
This bears
repeating Mr. Speaker --- every single Londoner who competed in
the Olympics is a Gold Medalist!And while communities across our country lay various
claims to our Olympians, London’s claim is no less strong.
Congratulations to Christine Nesbitt, Scott Moir, Tessa
Virtue, Drew Doughty, Corey Perry and Joe
Thornton.
And hockey players Rick Nash and Pat
Kane, along with Corey, were part of the legendary
London Knights and did our city proud.
To our
Olympians I say: your results were the best in the world and you
had us cheering louder than you could ever imagine.
While we
shared in your dream, we know you did the work, you made the
commitment, you won the Gold.And for that, you deserve every accolade you receive.
Thank you
for making London, Canada’s Golden City.
