Share the story of a 907 km trek for Veterans

The Legion’s National Headquarters is proud to release A Ruck to Remember, a video story highlighting the extensive hiking and fundraising journey taken by three men in support of the Legion’s Operation: Leave the Streets Behind program – the Ontario division.
Watch video on youtube.
Ruck to Remember founder Lino DiJulio speaks about the help available to Veterans at local Legion Branches, and the importance of getting involved with your local Legion.
“There are a lot of well-meaning people in these Branches who have a huge heart for Veterans; they cannot help a generation of people they do not have access to. If you want the Legion to help you, they want to help you, but you’ve got to engage, you’ve got to be present.”
We encourage all Branches to share this video with your members and the public.
Special thanks to Ontario Command and the Owen Sound Branch for their great assistance and participation in the production of the story.
If you have any questions, please contact Member Services and we will be pleased to assist. 1-855-330-3344 or membership@legion.ca

Drones, satellites uncover ancient encampments, fortresses, civilizations

STORY BY STEPHEN J. THORNE

Back in 2016, a hunter perched in an elevated hide outside the German town of Bad Ems, an hour’s drive northwest of Frankfurt, noticed some unusual discoloration in a field of grain.

Archeologists were summoned and a drone dispatched, revealing a dual track arcing from one side of the pasture to the other. One might have concluded it was a very large tractor trail in these pastoral parts near the River Lahn. But it wasn’t.

It turned out to be the remnants of a defensive double ditch on the perimeter of a 2,000-year-old Roman army encampment.

Canada’s Chinese diaspora: How the Tiananmen Square protests changed Vancouver

STORY BY PAIGE JASMINE GILMAR

“It was the end of innocence and idealism in a way,” political science professor Yves Tiberghien wrote to UBC News, the University of British Columbia’s communications’ hub. “The sense of hope and infinite possibility, the fresh idealism of the mid-1980s is gone.”

That idealism, however, was not just gone after the Tiananmen Square protests, it was trampled, shot and wiped clean by martial law in the public space in China’s capital. It was an effective end to any hope for greater freedoms in the country and, to some, a better future. And as Asian communities throughout Canada commemorate the 34th anniversary this month of the infamous protests and massacre, they also stopped to remember the day that also impacted Canada’s cultural makeup.
