“Canada as a nation gained its Maturity in Wartime. That much used label “Wartime” which covered everything that is goofy and everything that was heart rending i in those turbulent times, it has had itl meaning a for :
_ the new generations who have grown up after the 1950s, for them, the word is a relic of the olden days..Since those days we have enjoyed Freedom and Peace, freedom from Heartbreak, telegrams with bad news,NO
‘more casualty lists, no more weeping mothers, no more absent husbands. This past Two or Three years ‘those memories have been brought back, with the loss of our young Canadian Peacekeepers. |
_As you go about your daily tasks, wether it is at home or in school or at work, on this Remembrance Day, if you cannot Remember, think, think about those Young Canadians who were not able to live out this allotted -
_ span of life; to contribute to their Country. But in giving themselves totally through duty, commitment, love and Honour have become pat of us for ever. Think about our Veterans that til live amongst Us us, think about |
our Peacekeepers, think about your freedom and the Peaceful living we enjoy here.in Terrace.

Join me and our Veterans on Friday November 1 1 th in a Day of Remembrance. A day to Think. a
So Proudly You Served! _
