VE Day event
Here, in the small village of Chatsworth, south of Owen Sound, ON, we have a VE Day Banquet on the Saturday nearest 8 May.
We had about 65 attending, which included some high school students who did a power point presentation of their trip to Holland last year, and an Air Cadet who won a public speaking contest sponsored by our Legion branch, gave his speech about the Canadian Cadet Movement. For a small village, I'd say it was a damned impressive event. More and more, we have to reach out and teach the younger generations about that which the school systems either ignore or sneer at.

Great that this event took place. possibly similar events took place in Legions around the country.
BUT, publicly? in the newspapers, radio and TV, I saw and heard nothing... as far as I know, im the only one who said anything publicly.
