"A project such as this that these young athletes are on the verge of carrying out is rich in experiences. Throughout the year they have shown imagination and leadership in order to raise enough money to enable them to take part in this worthwhile project. Their participation and engagement throughout the last year demonstrate a maturity that they can be very proud of. I am convinced that this will be an experience that they will cherish for a long time," declared the Megantic-Compton Deputy.
