    Great War in the Villages Project Edmund Fenning Parke . Lance Corporal. No. 654, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (Eastern Ontario Regiment.) Thirty miles from its source, the River Seven passes the village of Aberhafesp, near to the town of Newtown in the Montgomeryshire (Powys) countryside. It was here on the 20 June 1892 that Edmund Fenning Parke was born. His father, Edward, worked as an Architect and Surveyor and originated from Bidford-on-Avon, Warwickshire. His mother Harriette Elizabeth(nee Dolbey) was born in Newtown. The couple had ten children all born within the surrounding area of their mother’s home town. Edmund was the younger of their two sons. The family were living at The Pentre in Aberhafesp when Edmund was baptised on the 24 th July of the year of his birth. Within a few years the family moved to Brookside in Mochdre i again, only a short distance from Newtown. Edmund attended Newtown High School and indications are that after leaving there he worked as a clerk ii . He also spent some of his free time as a member of the 1/7 th Battalion, The Royal Welsh Fusiliers, a territorial unit based in the town iii . On the September 4 th 1910 however, Edmund set sail on the RMS Empress of Britain from Liverpool bound for a new life in Canada. The incoming passenger manifest records that he was entering Canada seeking work as a Bank Clerk. In the summer of 1914, many in Canada saw the German threat of war, in Europe, as inevitable.

(National Archives of Canada (NAC) / PA-66815) Written by Janice Summerby © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, represented by the Minister of Veterans Affairs, 2005. Cat. No. V32-56/2005 ISBN 0-662-68750-7 Printed in Canada Native Soldiers – Foreign Battlefields Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including online learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom.

  • 2018 Medal of Good Citizenship Recipients January 30, 2019 Ceremony
    2018 Medal of Good Citizenship Recipients Jan. 30, 2019 Presentation Ceremony Alberta "Wadzeed" Billy of Quathiaski Cove Alberta Billy is an Elder of the We Wai Kai. One of four tribes of the Laich-Kwil-Tach First Nation . We Wai Kai is a large sea worm that lives in the ocean that can never be destroyed. Alberta showed leadership at a very young age. In 1981, her and colleagues Thelma Davis and Stan McKay were invited to the General Council Executive of the United Church of Canada. This is when Alberta asked the United Church for an apology for their role in residential schools. This led to an historic moment for Canada when, in 1986, the United Church of Canada became the first religious organization to apologize to Indigenous peoples for its part in colonization. Her request for the apology and the delivery of that apology set the stage for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Alberta has dedicated her life to helping and teaching others and has gained the respect and admiration of everyone who meets her. She trained to help those who have experienced trauma and helps many on their path toward healing. She is a mentor and a role model to many people and inspires Indigenous women to use their voices to speak out against injustice. Carrying on and sharing traditional knowledge has been a lifelong commitment for Alberta; it has guided her life. She has travelled across Canada co-facilitating the Building Bridges Through Understanding the Village experiential workshop. This teaching circle shows how all of us are connected and interconnected and is a transformational experience that helps healing and reconciliation.
