Legislative Assembly in Canada was the Miss Centennial Contest. This was initiated by the Sum- merside Lobster Carnival Committee, under the chairmanship of Mr. Robert Hogg with a very active Committee. A point system was developed similar to the Miss Canada Competition , which apparently was an excellent idea. The judges were Miss Maggie Morris of "Flashback"; Laurier LaPierre from McGill University, and Mrs. Vivian Carson from Moncton. Thirteen communities held contests and the winners were judged in Summerside , and Miss Carol MacKinnon was chosen Miss Centennial P.E.I. , and later went on to win the title of Miss Canada . (Applause) This Province also participated in the Athletic Awards program. The Cen¬ tennial Athletic Awards program was aimed at every school child in Canada . Chair¬ man David Boswell looked after this, and over 18,600 pupils took part in the pro¬ gram. 5r,r of those taking part won gold badges, 10r'r silver and 14^ bronze. There was a contingent of the 144 athletes from Prince Edward Island which participated in the Canadian Winter Games, the first held in Canada , in Quebec City. This was a new and unique experience to all the athletes and team officials who, for the first time, had the opportunity to participate as a group at the National level. Interfaith programs were held during the year in different communities, Sum¬ merside and Chai'lottetown, and many other communities and were reported to be very successful. Assistance was given to the Rural Beautification Society during the year and with the increased activity good results were obtained and the Island improved much more during 1967 than in previous years. One of the important events during the year was the visits of many honoured guests from other countries. The Prime Minister of Mauritius; Lord and Lady Sel¬ kirk; the Prime Minister of Barbadoes; Sir Charles MacLean , Chief Scout of the British Commonwealth, and, of course, Her Majesty Queen Mother Elizabeth came to the Province in July, and opened the Provincial Administrative Buildings, unveiled a memorial plaque at the Queen Charlotte Armouries , and attended a Lawn Party at Government House, where she graciously received many of the people and chatted with them. Next day she made a visit to Summerside where she attended an open air ceremony at the before leaving for New Brunswick from CFB Summer- side. The Provincial Co-ordinator for all these visits was Brigadier Reid , whose plans and arrangements were most satisfactory and were appreciated by the com¬ mittee and by the visitors. National Veterans' Week was held from June 11th to 17th and memorial ser¬ vices were held throughout the Province where Legion branches are located, and wreaths were laid in all these communities. Centennial Tree Planting projects were carried out by twelve schools in fif¬ teen communities. Over 3,000 trees were planted, and many trees native to this Province were requested and shipped to other areas for their Centennial projects. The Special Recognition Committee under the chairmanship of Douglas Boylan, recognized nine centenarians during the year and twenty-eight centennial babies born in the months of January and July 1967. This brief review of Centennial Year will indicate the tremendous involve¬ ment of our people during the celebrations in this Province of Canada 's One Hun¬ dredth Birthday. The members of the Centennial Commission deserve commendation for the many hours spent in planning the many events. The many chairmen and Committee Members in all the communities worked hard and successfully to carry out their respective tasks. Much of the responsibility of getting the communities organized rested with the Director of Planning, and the Co-ordinator of Events. They, together with all the members of the Planning Committee, are to be commended for their excellent work during Centennial Year . The Armed Forces participation did much to make our Centennial celebrations all over the Province a huge success. Planning by the Armed Forces began in 1965, and the committee responsible worked very closely with the Centennial Commission —220—
