CONGRATULATIONS DARTMOUTH NORTH CLOTHING Members Statement

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge Dartmouth High students Dylan Moore and Nate Davies who have founded the company Dartmouth North Clothing as part of the Junior Achievement Nova Scotia program.

Dartmouth North Clothing made very cool, very hip, tie-dyed tee-shirts of many brilliant colours and styles, with the company's logo on each one. Dylan and Nate sold the shirts at various locations, including the busy Alderney Farmers' Market and they donated 20 per cent of their profits to the Dartmouth North Community Food Centre. The money they donated will support over 200 meals, served as part of the food centre's program.

Mr. Speaker, I am inspired by Dylan and Nate, two young people from the community who had an idea and followed through on it, but who also had an awareness of their community and the need within it. I want to congratulate them on their success with Dartmouth North Clothing, thank them for their generosity, and I look forward to what they do next.
