Here, in the small village of Chatsworth, south of Owen Sound, ON, we have a VE Day Banquet on the Saturday nearest 8 May.
We had about 65 attending, which included some high school students who did a power point presentation of their trip to Holland last year, and an Air Cadet who won a public speaking contest sponsored by our Legion branch, gave his speech about the Canadian Cadet Movement.
For a small village, I'd say it was a damned impressive event.
More and more, we have to reach out and teach the younger generations about that which the school systems either ignore or sneer at.
