- Lucie Roy photos Gibbons grants PPCLI Freedom of the Town by Lucie Roy

Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) has undertaken a commemorative program to maximize its interaction with Canadians across the country during their centennial year. Saturday’s Freedom of the City parade in Gibbons was one of those occasions. Freedom of the City is an honour granted to military units or formations, allowing them the privilege to march in a specific town or city with drums beating, colours uncased or flying, and bayonets fixed. Coady Summerfield 2IC B Coy 3 PPCLI provided a history of the Freedom of the City, saying the ceremony is a tradition that dates back to ancient Rome and has been observed to this day. “Armies were often forbidden from a city due to conflicting loyalties and the general instability that existed at that time,” Summerfield said. “The citizens of these towns (usually fortified) would deny access for their own protection. Exceptions, however, were made as signs of trust and allegiance, allowing the request military unit entry. Throughout the Medieval period the tradition continued, typically to protect the public rights of the town.” The Freedom of the City was granted essentially for those troops who earned the trust of the people, usually by protecting them and by being a familiar presence. The honour is symbolic today and usually granted to a unit with ties to the area and as a token of appreciation for dedicated service. To reciprocate the gesture, the battalion presented a PPCLI print to the Deputy Mayor to hang at the Gibbons Town Office. The print is of a famous PPCLI scene: The Second Battle of Ypres (Frezenburg), by William Barnes Wollen. This battle is known within the Regiment as “the death of the originals.” The Morinville News — September 17, 2014 Around The 3 Former fire chief to be thrown to the Lions by Morinville News Staff

Former Morinville Fire Chief Ron Cust has certainly felt the heat after more than a quarter century with the Morinville Fire Department, but the lifelong Morinville resident will soon feel a different kind of heat.
