Unique Tributes
Animals in War Memorial

The supporting roles of animals, in times of war, date back thousands of years. Horses, mules and dogs have assisted by transporting materials and personnel. They’ve also performed specialized tasks and assumed duties which are considered too dangerous for humans.

In 2010 Lloyd Swick, a WW2 and Korean War veteran led a group which petitioned the National Capital Commission to create a memorial honouring animals who were killed in Canadian military operations. In 2012, the completed memorial was unveiled at Confederation Park in Ottawa.

In addition to a sculpture of a dog, the memorial includes three plaques which bare dedications to dogs, horses, mules and all other animals.

One of the most famous animals to support man in battle was Gander a 130 lb black Newfoundlander, who was, coincidentally from Gander, Newfoundland. During WW2 he supported the First Battalion of Royal Rifles of Canada, in the infantry.

In the 1941 Battle of Hong Kong, a gr***de was thrown by Japanese forces landing next to a group of injured allied soldiers. Gander grabbed the gr***de in his mouth and ran away from the group. Though he was killed when the gr***de exploded, his actions saved seven lives.

In the year 2000, Gander was awarded the Dicken Medal for Gallantry posthumously which is essentially the Victorian Cross for animals. The medal is currently on display at the Canadian War Museum.

Cemetery Rules and Regs:
Plants and Flowers

Each cemetery has rules and regulations concerning flower planting and if small shrubs are permitted at a cemetery plot. These are typically stated in Cemetery Bylaws, the guiding principles of the cemetery.

It is important to remember that rules exist for a number of reasons. These include public safety, maintenance issues, and the overall appearance of the grounds. In the absence of rules, some families may plant flowers or greenery that encroaches on the locations of other families.

Flower planting season is upon us. If you are considering to plant at a local cemetery and are unsure what the guidelines are, please contact them prior to planting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Happy Friday
Good morning!

Friday is frinally here. Friday. The golden child of the weekdays. The superhero of the workweek. The welcome wagon to the weekend.

“Give someone you love a hug and tell them you love them… because they just might need it this morning.” - Author Unknown

Let’s make today and this weekend special in some way:
Connect with family and friends.
Make plans.
Enjoy something special, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to others. You deserve it.
If you grieve, be kind to yourself.
If you are friends with someone who grieves, reach out to them.
Share a happy moment or a memory from the past.

Put the concerns of the week behind you, don’t overthink yesterday, live today and appreciate that tomorrow may hold pleasant surprises.

Find your inner youth.
“I haven’t been so excited about Friday since last Friday.”

Happy Friday!
