| An RCAF Veteran’s story: The importance of Remembrance |
| Legion National Headquarters invited a Carleton University journalism student to spend a few weeks with the Legion through the university’s internship program. As part of his experience, Brandon Martin wrote an article about his grandfather, an RCAF Veteran. |
| “One of the core pillars of The Royal Canadian Legion is supporting the tradition of Remembrance –amplifying the stories of Veterans who have served our country is one way of continuing this tradition. Sharing my grandfather’s story through the following passages has not only allowed me to pay homage to him, but to also express my gratitude to all Veterans during this period of Remembrance.” |

| Juno Beach Centre launches capital campaign |
| As we approach the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the Juno Beach Centre has launched a bold vision to grow, preserve, and expand the reach of this Canadian landmark in Normandy. Plans include a major commemorative landscaping project, physical expansion, a new eco-friendly café and boutique, and experiential education programs reaching young people all over the world. |
| At the centre of it all is Project Concordia, a chance to preserve and restore the dune lands that surround the centre, and create an enhanced, accessible space for reflection and learning. The lands were recently protected from a condo development thanks to the Save Juno Beach citizen’s campaign, which received critical support from many Legion members. |
