Mr. Speaker, every year, Canada produces world-class athletes who go on to achieve great things. Today, I want to acknowledge the accomplishments of three stars. Priscilla Lopes-Schliep is a track and field champion who won a bronze medal in the women's 100-metre hurdles at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Derek Suddons was a member of the Canadian bronze-winning team at the 1996 U-19 World Field Lacrosse Games in Tokyo. Adrian Woodley has won four national championships in 110-metre hurdles. What do these athletes have in common? All of them come from Whitby, Ontario, my riding. On April 29, I and community leaders from across Whitby had the chance to hear their stories and celebrate their accomplishments as they were inducted into the Whitby Sports Hall of Fame. I hope members will join me in congratulating Priscilla, Derek and Adrian for their many successes and for supporting those who aspire to follow in their footsteps.
