Remembrance Day Thoughts
November 10, 2020

Dear Friends,

It goes without saying that we are living in unprecedented times. But it also goes without saying that our veterans faced the dual threat of slaughter on an industrial scale never before witnessed in human history, followed by the Spanish Flu pandemic that killed millions more. 

I stood on the grounds of the Guild Inn to film my remarks where a Vimy Oaks sampling was planted. Lieutenant Leslie Miller returned from the horrific Battle of Vimy Ridge with some acorns which he planted on his Scarborough farm. 

Our ancestors faced unimaginable horror but they emerged to bequeath us a proud legacy. Just as this young tree will grow into a mighty oak one day, Canada will emerge from our current pandemic stronger and stronger.

Lest we forget.
