It was extra painful for me having to self-isolate this week preventing me from attending with you at the PNE grounds. Though I must say the efforts of the Association and the Regimental wreath parties at key locations has still allowed for us to feel connected on this day. The remembrance at the 29th Battalion CEF Monument at the PNE was very well done and attended by over 75 BCR soldiers online. Please pass on my kudos to all those involved in putting this together. The Wait for me Daddy wreath laying party was befitting for such a special and dear monument to our Regiment. Finally, the readings of the Cpl Alexander and Wu at Christ Church Cathedral as part of a wreath laying party was streamed live and can be found on youtube at https://www.thecathedral.ca/livestreams/34. These efforts show the whole Regimental Family is able to adapt and carry on in face of the greatest challenges of this generation of soldiers. -
