Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 26 wordsI would like to pay tribute to a pillar of the community of Vaudreuil, Elwood Quinn, who sadly passed away at the beginning of the year.¹Thanks Claims · 147 wordsElwood was a fifth-generation farmer who was deeply passionate about helping people to understand the importance of agriculture and where their food comes from. Over 40 years ago, Elwood purchased a 130-acre plot of land in Notre-Dame-de-l’Île-Perrot and transformed it into a thriving farm and homestead.² Since then, hundreds of thousands of families have experienced agricultural life, with pumpkin, apple and strawberry picking becoming an annual tradition for countless families, including my own.³ He was a tireless advocate for protecting the rich farmlands that sustain us, convinced that genetic diversity is essential to Canada’s food sustainability. He was involved in raising awareness around the well-being and safety of farm families. Thanks to his children, including his son Phil, the farm continues to welcome thousands of visitors a year.⁴ As a tribute to his remarkable legacy, a celebration will be held this May to honour his extraordinary life.⁵ Thanks · 7 wordsMay our friend Elwood rest in peace.Thanks
