OTTAWA 2009 Ottawa 2010 • 5 • A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER On behalf of the Government of Ontario, I am delighted to extend warm greetings to everyone attending the 2010 Jump Canada Hall of Fame Induction Cer- emony and Gala. The outstanding accomplishments of our equestrian athletes, both on the national and international stage, have made Ontarians very proud. It is therefore only fitting that we celebrate, and record for posterity, the significant contributions that individuals have made to equestrian sport. My special congratulations go out to this year’s inductees. This well- deserved honour pays tribute to your dedication to equestrian sport in Canada. Take pride in knowing that you have earned the respect and admiration of equestrian enthusiasts throughout the nation, your families and friends, and your communities. I would like to thank Jump Canada and BMO Financial Group for making this much-anticipated event possible. Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable evening, and my thanks for recognizing excellence in the hunter/jumper sport across the nation. • 6 • For the past five years, the Jump Can- ada Hall of Fame has been highlight- ing the outstanding contributions of the horses and the people who have made their mark in hunter/jumper sport. The Hall of Fame’s 5th induction ceremony will once again recognize excellence in these disciplines while encouraging current and future generations to pur- sue this tradition with the same passion. I congratulate Jump Canada on its ef- forts to increase understanding of hunt- er/jumper sport and to pay tribute to its talented practitioners. Congratulations to the new members of the Hall of Fame. Sincerely, The Honourable Gary Lunn, P.C., M.P.
