“I want to congratulate the local air cadet group and Raphaëlle Chicoine. At 17, she won a top award for leadership and dedication. Young people like her help make Canada strong.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, last Sunday, I had the opportunity to attend the ceremonial parade of the 806 Sainte-Thérèse Air Cadet Squadron, which brought together more than 90 young cadets. What a great organization that teaches leadership, civic responsibility and teamwork. I would like to congratulate all the cadets for their participation and commitment, as well as Blainville’s own Raphaëlle Chicoine for an exceptional honour. At just 17 years old, she received the Lord Strathcona Medal for her leadership and dedication, the highest honour awarded to a cadet. She has been flying planes and actively participating in our community for more than two years. Through her determination and passion, Raphaëlle is a true source of inspiration for her peers and a shining example of what our young people can accomplish. Attending this event served as a reminder that young people are not just the future, but also the present. It is crucial to recognize young people like Raphaëlle. With their active contributions, we are building Canada strong.
