“I am congratulating Nelly Galifi, Mary Beth Sharpe, and Donna Baylis for their volunteer work in my riding. I also want to wish a happy 100th birthday to Nilo Ciotti, Canada's oldest living former CFL player.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am proud to announce this year’s recipients of the Simcoe—Grey MP Community Leader Awards. Nelly Galifi manages the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul food bank and volunteers for its response line, helping many community members in crisis. Mary Beth Sharpe, for 19 years, managed the books at and lent her sewing skills to our not-for-profit Theatre Collingwood, as well as volunteering with local youth charity Home Horizon and the annual Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser. Donna Baylis has for a decade organized the Creemore Community Christmas Dinner, as well as the annual Christmas markets and Breakfast with Santa events. Congratulations to Nelly, Mary Beth and Donna. I thank them for their selfless dedication to our community. I also want to recognize Nilo Ciotti, Canada’s oldest living former CFL player, who turned 100 yesterday. I look forward to celebrating this milestone with him and his many family members and friends this weekend in Collingwood.”
