Mr. Speaker, it is almost that time of year again, and thanks to the hard work of Jay de la Durantaye, Rob Dumas, Craig Nolan, Ken Bell, Ken Doran and the entire team at the Soulanges Irish Society, our community of Vaudreuil—Soulanges will become Irish for a day at the annual St. Patrick's Day parade through Hudson. This year, I am truly honoured to lead the parade as grand marshal and to be joining ambassadors Marilyne Picard and Marie-Claude Nichols, Irishman of the year Ken Doran, parade queen Esme Cavanaugh, princesses Shaunessa Boyle and Veronica Gilmore, and reviewing officer Laura Casella in the festive walk along Hudson's historic Main Street. As always, whether it is to grab a drink at one of our local pubs or microbreweries, fill one's boots at one of Hudson's great restaurants or simply take in all that the parade will have to offer, this is an event not to be missed by young and old alike. On Saturday, March 18, at 1 p.m., come one, come all to celebrate our rich Irish heritage with some good old Irish hospitality. Sláinte.
