Station Goose Bay’s construction began in September 1941 and proceeded rapidly. The 3,000 labourers employed in the initial phase of construction worked almost non-stop, and through all weather. They bulldozed large swaths of spruce forest, built dock facilities to receive supplies, and installed temporary packed-snow runways. Although contractors were given four years to complete the project, three runways, each measuring more than 2,000 metres and able to accommodate the largest aircraft of the day, were built in just two months. The first military aircraft landed at the base on December 9, 1941. The Canadian airfield at Goose Bay probably impacted its surroundings more dramatically than any other military base established in Newfoundland and Labrador during the Second World War.

On November 11, remember those who served and sacrificed for freedom.

Last year, during the Rededication Ceremony for the Kandahar Cenotaph, HCol Terry Kelly gave an emotional performance of his song "Portraits of Honour" while we... reflected on the brave women and men who made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. We will remember them. Terry Kelly Official
