Mr. Speaker, today I would like to acknowledge a victory that thrilled all of Quebec. Saint‑Boniface's volunteer committee, known as the Irréductibles, has been working overtime to win us a historic opportunity.
On April 5, everyone held their breath as Saint‑Boniface was crowned the winner of Kraft Hockeyville 2025, a feat that was highlighted on October 7 with an award from the Association québécoise du loisir public.
The prize for winning Kraft Hockeyville is $250,000 to renovate the arena, equipment for young hockey players, food donations and the privilege of hosting an NHL game in 2026.
Saint‑Boniface inspires us with its team spirit and its incredible ability to rally around a passion for hockey. It is a place where people come together and bond over a sense of belonging and shared memories. Congratulations to Saint‑Boniface for being the perfect example of what commitment and teamwork look like.
