Re: pic: Team 610 with the Prime Minister of Canada
Congratulations to Teams 610 and 1241 on being the first ever FRC teams to be recognized in person by the Canadian Prime Minister. These teams represent Canada well both on and off the field. This an absolutely immense and well deserved honour, and a big step towards the types of culture change we're all trying to achieve via FIRST. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a very busy man at this time of year, and the fact that he took time out of his busy schedule to invite, honour and recognize these World Championship teams shows that the message of FIRST is resonating at the highest levels of Canadian government! A big thanks to FIRST Robotics Canada for arranging for this opportunity for these two teams.
Also, congratulations to Kaley Bibic, a Canadian Dean's List winner, who was also honoured at the ceremony.
