Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Yellowknife South, to recognize four special young people. They are the winners of Canada Day Poster Challenge this year, three of whom are from my riding.

The first place winner is Patricia MacVicar, 11 years of age, from Yellowknife; second place winner is Sonny Lenoir from Fort Simpson, age 17; third place is Jason MacVicar from Yellowknife, age 14; and the fourth place winner is Elizabeth Wilson, age nine, also from Yellowknife.

The first place winner, Patricia MacVicar, and her parents have been invited by the Secretary of State to the official Canada Day ceremony on Parliament Hill on July 1st of this year. Along with the 11 other provincial/territorial finalists, Patricia will be flown to Ottawa courtesy of Canadian Airlines International. As you know, Mr. Speaker, Canada will be celebrating 125 years of Confederation this year.

The other winners will receive monetary rewards for their achievements. Buffalo Airways of Yellowknife and Hay River provided courtesy flights for Sonny Lenoir's flight from Fort Simpson to Yellowknife to attend a reception to be held later today.

Mr. Speaker, 1992 NWT Canada Day committee received no less than 350 entries for the contest, a record number, this year. All of these students who entered this challenge are to be congratulated.

I would also like to commend the 1992 NWT Canada Day committee whose representatives include the honourable Member for Inuvik, Mr. Koe; its president, Lynda Comerford; and vice-president, Ms. Theresa Handley, who worked so hard to put this and other activities together to celebrate Canada's birthday this year.

In closing, Mr. Speaker, I would like to invite all Members to join us in this lobby today at 4:00 o'clock for the presentation of awards and to view the very impressive artwork done by these youngsters from across the Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
