Honour our Veterans - Banner Launch
On May 21, 2015, the Uxbridge Honour our Veterans Banner Program was launched at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 170, Uxbridge. We were pleased to welcome then Minister of Veterans Affairs and MP from Durham, Erin O’Toole, other dignitaries, and especially our treasured veterans. It was a delightful afternoon…..and the beginning of what is now, after 7 years, a wonderful program that we are honoured to facilitate.
