Minister of Veterans Affairs visits the city to honour veterans

The 2837 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps was busy performing an important service earlier this month.

More than a dozen members gathered to help clean up the Field of Honour at Lakeview Cemetery on May 14. A total of 13 cadets helped to ensure the final resting place for those who bravely fought remains in the best condition possible.

The cleanup is an annual event for the cadets and there was a special guest this year in the form of Veterans Affairs Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor, who was in the city on other federal government business before visiting the cemetery. She pitched in to help with the cleaning, but she was also there to honour Floyd Powder, a retired member of the Canadian Armed Forces and current Sergeant-at-Arms at the legislative assembly.
