It with regret and sadness that we inform you of the passing of another of our serving members. Cpl Michael William Furdas passed away suddenly at his home in M...ississauga on Wednesday, 23 September. Cpl Furdas served for four years with the Regiment and deployed on Op LASER as part of the Local Response Unit. He was a machine gunner within and had many close friends - former high school classmates - within the ranks. He always volunteered for extra taskings within and outside the unit. He was just 21 and his time with us was too short. Funeral arrangements are not yet known to us, but we will provide this information as soon as we learn the wishes of his family. As well, we will conduct a memorial service for Cpl Furdas in Etobicoke; details of this event will also follow once we have conferred with Cpl Furdas’s family. The past seven months have been challenging for everyone, and news like this can make such difficult times feel darker. Below is a link to mental health services offered by the Canadian Armed Forces. https://www.canada.ca//benefit/military-mental-health.html The Regiment mourns the loss of another soldier. Despite COVID restrictions, we will honour Cpl Furdas’s life and his service to The Regiment. Though we grieve, we draw strength from each other, and to honour Cpl Furdas’s memory, we will Carry On!

Happy and joyful wishes to HRH The Duke of Kent today on his 85th birthday from everyone in the Lorne Scots Regiment.
