From our Administrative Assistant, Lindsay, on her Grandfather. "Grandpa didn't talk about his experiences until much later in life. He found the courage to share his story in the last few years of his life and it was recorded by my aunt and others. I am forever indebted to him, many other family members and the thousands of other Canadians that put their country above themselves to keep us safe and free. Here's a link to an interview he did about 6 months before he passed away describing some of his experiences" http://wellingtontimes.ca/on-the-beach-2/

Our Creative Director, Alison, spent some time yesterday with her Grandfather - Art Boudreau - who fought as a gunner in WWII. We are privileged every day to live in a country that is better for the sacrifices of our veterans. #LestWeForget
