Congratulations, PaddleALL Participants

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Sam Starr, Leighanne Porter Salvaterra, and Victoria Scattolon. These three Senobe Aquatic Club paddlers will be participating in the PaddleALL exhibition races during the 2022 ICF Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe World Championships in Dartmouth this week.

The PaddleALL exhibition races are specifically designed for athletes with intellectual disabilities and this will be the first time PaddleALL will take place at the World Championships. The best domestic and international paddlers will be out on the waters of Lake Banook, so be sure you catch their race on Thursday at 12:20 p.m.

I ask that all members of this House join me in wishing Sam, Leighanne, and Victoria the very best of luck.
