Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, all over the country, we are seeing Canadians get ready to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday in a little over one month. People are booking campsites, planning parades, and learning more about the country's history. Mr. Speaker, in my riding of the Mackenzie Delta, our Canada 150 celebrations will feature our own amazing race, the Race the Peel canoeing challenge. The Hamlet of Aklavik is organizing the race between that community and Fort McPherson, and the race will include cultural games and activities and games on the banks of the Peel. It's not only fun and games, Mr. Speaker, it is for a good cause, a very important cause. Race the Peel will also raise awareness for the Save the Peel Campaign that grew out of the Peel River Watershed legal case. It is also raising awareness of the urgent ongoing work to save the Porcupine caribou herd.
What better way to celebrate Canada 150 than to enjoy the Mackenzie Delta's beautiful lands and waters, and take action to protect them? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
