Remembrance 2025

For 27 years now, I’ve written the special Remembrance Day edition of the Cowichan Valley Citizen. And all those years, all those 1000s of words later, I have more material to work with than when I started!

I’ve said it before, but as the first of three generations of my family who didn’t have to go to war, even to wear a uniform, I’m not only grateful, I’m beholden. By which I mean, I owe for the privilege of being born in, allowed to live in, a country such as Canada. 

Researching, writing about and honouring all those men and women who have served Canada over the years is a joy and a privilege.

Ergo, next week’s BC Chronicles will be yet another Remembrance tribute from my extensive files.
