“I want to recognize Keegan Sturge, an apprentice electrician from Fort McMurray. He is representing Canada at an international skills competition in China. I want all members to wish him good luck, and I hope his hard work inspires more young people to enter the trades.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize an extraordinary young tradesperson from Fort McMurray who is making history on the world stage. Keegan Sturge is a Keyano College apprentice electrician, and he is currently in Shanghai, China, representing team Canada in the electrical installation category at the prestigious WorldSkills competition. He is facing off against the best young tradespeople from more than 70 countries. Keegan’s journey started when he entered a registered apprenticeship program in high school. Guided by his instructor and mentor Dawn Ohama, he has spent countless hours in specialized training, national competitions and international camps. I have had the opportunity to see his work up close and learn first hand about the challenges he has faced along the way. His passion for his trade is truly inspiring, and I hope his journey sends a message to all young people out there to look at the trades. I would ask all members of the House to join me in wishing Keegan all the best as he starts his competition at WorldSkills. Keegan’s community and his country are extremely proud of him.
