Along with approximately 50 Canadian Forces per- sonnel, Iqaluit RCMP Const. David Lawson (right) and Sgt. Mike Toohey (left) participated in the grave restoration of two Mounties during the Canadian Forces’ Operation Lancaster in August, 2006. The fallen Mounties, Const. Victor Maisonneuve and Const. William Robert Stephens, died respectively in 1926 and 1927 while stationed at Dundas Harbour on Devon Island in the 1920s.
