We recently received a message from Sharon Lefroy. Sharon is the niece of Flt Lt Keith Lefroy who was killed in action in November 1943 over the Netherlands.

Although from Ingersoll ON, Sharon is keen to share the story of her Uncle and try to reach any surviving relatives. We’re proud to be able to help Sharon with their quest.

Members of Canada's 2SLGBTQI+ community have made important military contributions. They have seen pride and achievement and discrimination and persecution.

For most of Canada’s history, the military officially barred members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community from serving in uniform. This legacy of discrimination meant most of their stories were deeply buried. More recently, research has brought many inspiring and heartbreaking stories to light.

We're proud to support our local Cadet groups and recently the Air, Sea and Army Cadets held their Annual Reviews.

“The history of the Army in Canada is as long as the history of the country itself, and forms a larger part of it than many Canadians realize. The Canadian soldier of today is the heir of a very old and a very proud tradition, and a tradition peculiarly his own.

8 May 1945 – VE Day (Victory in Europe Day) – was one that remained in the memory of all those who witnessed it. It meant an end to nearly six years of a war that had cost the lives of millions; had destroyed homes, families, and cities; and had brought huge suffering and privations to the populations of entire countries.
