Remembrance Day

For Remembrance Day, I was able to attend the annual ceremony at the Field of Honour with fellow Council members. The Government of Canada is in the process of acquiring the Field of Honour to protect and preserve it for generations to come.

We remember the sacrifices of all our veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our rights and freedoms. I have a special memory of my late grandfather, Aloyzy Swidzinski, an artillery veteran of the First Corps of the First Polish Army, who served on the Eastern Front from 1943 to 1945. We will remember them.
