The Twig and Berry a friendly and unique one-stop shop

by Sarah Elizabeth Special to Golden This Week The Twig and Berry Trading Company, also known as the Parson General Store, is a friendly and unique place offering a liquor store, restaurant, post office and gas station among other things to community members and travellers alike. It provides shoppers with a onestop shopping experience and keeps those who shop there going back for the homemade burgers, pizza and authentic poutine. “The restaurant is really taking off,� says coowner Rick Fitzhenry. He bought the business five years ago with spouse Sheri Hayes, her twin sister Teri and her husband Terry Ruczak. “People drive all the way from Golden for the food.�

Teri says the homemade food, including the “authentic� poutine is what draws folks out to visit from Golden. “We sell a lot of poutine,� Rick says, adding they searched for the right cheese curds to make the dish “authentic� for the large French community they serve.

The store, located at 3392 Hwy. 95 South, is nestled just off the side of the highway. The Columbia wetlands are visible from the back yard of the store where the owners’ homes reside. Rick says business is awesome, slowly growing and that the experience so far has been “a labour of love.� “We built it up. There wasn’t much here when we first bought it. We still get the odd call asking if we have gas,� explains Rick. In addition to locally made honey, jams and pickles, the shop offers premium and regular gas, propane and diesel. Inside the store, shoppers can find business supplies and a free book exchange for community members and travelers. Sheri says the book exchange is really popular.

The charm of the Twig and Berry is felt in the welcoming atmosphere of the store and the hard working couples who are the sole employees there. As soon as you pull in the gravel driveway, you are greeted by a delightful old-timey sign and big, inviting porch. There is no shortage of places to sit, whether it’s on the front steps in the sun to enjoy an ice cream or gathering at one of the

picnic tables in the grass beside the store to eat French fries with friends or family. There is also seating inside among the groceries, books and camping supplies, where folks can sit and chat with one of the owners while visiting with Blue, the resident dog, and enjoying a cup of tea or coffee. The Twig and Berry is a hub for community members to pick up their mail, catch up on local news and enjoy a yummy meal.

The owners say they have found a nice work/

life balance since moving from Calgary, Alta., to Parson to take on the business. Since moving into the community, Terry says they have discovered a good sense of spirit in the people who visit the Twig and Berry on a daily basis. “The people of Parson and the area have been wonderful supporters. They are the majority of our business in the shoulder season and low season,� ... Continued on page 4

‘We embrace the lifestyle out here, we love the outdoors’ ... Continued from page 3 says Terry. “Parson is a tight community. If people need a hand, people step up and help each other out. It’s a nice community.”

The owners also recognize the support they get from travelers, including one German tourist who wrote an article on the store in 2013.

“We’re famous in Germany,” Sheri says laughing.

Originally from Calgary, both couples spent many years traveling to the area to ski, hike and enjoy the outdoors on weekends and to get away from the busy city lifestyle. Rick says it was the realization that there has to be a better way to live than rushing to work and racing in traffic every day that motivated them to take the leap and purchase the Twig and Berry.

While living in Calgary, Rick owned an interior construction business, Terry worked in the oil patch, and Sheri and Teri worked as freelance graphic designers, something Teri says they still do on the side.

When not working at the store, the owners enjoy a host of activities, including hiking, skiing, camping and kayaking. Rick says one of the things he loves about living and working at the Parson store is walking to work and the freedom.

“We embrace the lifestyle out here, we love the outdoors,” he says.

Teri says they don’t miss the city.

“We still have family in Calgary, but everyone comes here to visit us instead. Everyone loves it,” she says with a laugh.

The Twig and Berry Trading Co. is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.

Rick says local resident, Mary Hough, (pictured here feeding Blue), is the Twig and Berry’s No. 1 fan. Mary, who has been living in Parson for 59 years, says the store is a great place.

‘Bond ...

James Bond’ Janet Crandall-Swaffield Publisher

The movie at the theatre this week is a James Bond feature, called Spectre.

More than just another new movie, it is the 26th movie that portrays Bond, the spy that changed it all. Arguably, Bond is the character to have most influenced modern culture’s ‘spy’ point of reference. The phrase ‘Bond ... James Bond’ from the 1962 film Dr. No became the “signature introduction that would become the most famous and loved film line ever.�

Bond, code name ‘007’, a fictional British Secret Service agent, is based on the 1952 character created by Ian Fleming. Fleming is said to have based the character partly on experiences gained in his own life, those he met while in the military service, and the rest he imagined, to produce what’s called a composite character.

Fleming himself was a bit of a rascal, modelled Bond’s tastes after his own - golf, gambling and women. He seemed to have little regard for the effects of his own behaviour. Born to an affluent British family, Fleming lost his father during the Great War and his mother never remarried. He was well educated, and fluent in several languages. During the second world war, Fleming was recruited The phrase into Britain’s Naval Intelligence Division, where he was directly involved in planning ‘Bond ... James Bond’ several operations and the development of from the 1962 film intelligence units.

Dr. No became the Casino Royal, the first Bond novel, was written in 1952, and required three “signature introduction print runs to cope with the demand for that would become the book. Fleming would ultimately write twelve Bond novels, one per year for 12 the most famous and years from 1952 - 1964, written during loved film line ever.�

January and February each year while holidaying at Goldeneye, his Jamaican estate. He would write for about three hours every morning, and then another hour or so between 6 and 7 in the evening, which makes for approximately 2,000 words per day. Fleming used well known brand names and everyday details, to support a sense of ‘realism’. It became known as ‘the Fleming effect.’ The Bond stories are ranked among the best-selling series of fictional books of all time, having sold over 100 million copies worldwide. The movies represent the third-highest grossing film series, at just over $6 billion to date, soon to change due to the success of Spectre.

Sean Connery was the first actor to play James Bond, and the only one to work directly with Fleming. Connery, along with Roger Moore, each played Bond in seven films. Daniel Craig, the current Bond, is the seventh, having starred in four films.

The novel series continues on as well, with the latest title having been released in 2015, Trigger Mortis.

Amazing how a character such as James Bond, fictional though he may be, can have such an effect on society. As for me, I’m off to the movies ...

(On another note, Fleming wasn’t limited entirely to James Bond stories.

He also authored the popular children’s classic tale, Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, based on a story he concocted to tell his son at bedtime, in which a car takes on a personality of its own, with special abilities to sprout wings and take flight over traffic-packed roads, or transform to a hovercraft-like vehicle. Truly a James Bond worthy car, but for kids!)

by Garry Irving Special to Golden This Week

My wife and I have many wonderful memories of Golden and the people that make the community their home.

I first laid eyes on Golden in 1984 when the decision had been made to put a radio studio in the community. With various radio station personnel we looked over the community and finally came to a decision of where the studio was to be established.

Prior to the establishment of the radio studio the community had been served by a repeater heard over the 1440 frequency on the AM dial known as the Big R radio network and often called the “first voice west of the Rockies�.

I had been working in Salmon Arm for CKXR and had been there since November of 1979. I moved to Golden and officially broadcast from the new studio on New Years Day of 1985.

Over time I have seen many changes including the addition of the CP car shops, downtown revitalization, the frontage road rebuild and work beginning on the Kicking Horse Canyon.

We left Golden in late 1989 and returned in 1991 drawn back by the community and the

people that inhabited it. In the years to follow I worked in newspaper and returned to my first love radio just before retiring.

My radio career began in 1967 in Portage la Prairie Manitoba. I moved to Kapuskasing in northern Ontario in late 1968 and then onto Vancouver Island in 1970. I spent 1973-1979 in Quesnel and then onto Salmon Arm. I was spent most of the teenage years in Europe (1960-1965) when my father was stationed with the Royal Canadian Air Force.

First stop was Zwiebrucken, Germany at 3 (F) Wing and then 30 AMB in Langar (near Nottingham) England. My father finished his European tour at Canada House in London about the time the Beatles were just starting out. For those that do not know the (F) stands for ‘fighter’ wing and the AMB for an ‘Air Material Base’.

We came back to Canada in 1965 just after my 16th birthday. In those days Canada had about 5.000 troops and 12 fighter squadrons stationed in Europe. Our forces were nothing compared to the Americans, British and French that were then stationed in what was known as West Germany and today of course is reunited as one country. The Berlin wall was being built at the time we were there and thankfully has now been taken down.

A lot of time (water) has flowed under the bridge and with it many memories of fun times but also times of concern about possible armed conflict. When we were in Europe our school day was at times interrupted by drills that had us bused back to our PMQ’s (permanent married quarters) and sent to our basements to practice for a potential attack.

I look back now and am very thankful that I live in a country like ours with all our freedoms and a border with our neighbor that is not spanned by a wall or barbed wire.

Ice Cream for Breakfast: Crazy cat parenting

by Sarah Elizabeth Special to Golden This Week

When I was growing up my grandmother was mom to two cats. Foxy, was a mean, black cat who hated everyone and Dusty was a friendly, furry, sweetheart of a cat. He was the first cat to ever come to me when I called his name and let me pet him and snuggle with him.

My grandmother always used to say, “Don’t put your face close to the animals.� I would anyway. I learned my lesson one day when I was visiting my grandmother and Dusty scratched me right on the eyelid. He had had enough of my human nose to cat nose kisses (i.e. face to face snuggles) – yes there was blood. My grandmother mended me and told me, again, “Don’t put your face close to the animals.�

When I moved out of my parents’ house and got my first apartment, my first instinct was to find a new cat friend, but I refused to be so predictable, so I waited. Then, before I even had furniture, a beautiful, long haired stray kitty cat came meowing at my patio door. I ran over and called to her. She came close and let me pet her.

I gave her some milk and ham and a few pets before she left into the night. It was love at first sight. I kept talking about her to my friends and family for weeks to come. I wondered if she lived in one of the neighbouring apartments. A few weeks later she returned. We said hello to each other, had a bit of a visit and then she was gone again.

Eventually I bought her some treats for when she came to call on me. Then I started to call her Miss Kitty. I figured something formal would be appropriate on account of our informal, unpredictable, occasional visits. She would come by and visit, sometimes inside or outside when I was sitting on my patio, and then she would go.

Not wanting to miss a visit, eventually I would leave the patio door open for her to come and go as she pleased. Then I starting putting a bowl of water down for her. Then food, then a litter box, then to the vets for vaccinations, then there were kittens and the eventual taking her in to “get fixed� because she clearly had moved in permanently.

She brought me many gifts in the form of mice and birds. The habit of leaving a window open for her continued on in spite of my finding these gifts on the floor in random places - call me crazy, but for years I let this continue because if I shut the window or the door, taking away her sense of freedom, she would keep me up at all hours of the night going in and out of the apartment. The things we do for love.

Then there was the time I moved to a downtown area in a city. Nervous for her safety in not wanting her to go outside I kept her in the house for weeks. I eventually gave in and let her out. She was nowhere to be found for almost 24 hours. I kept the window open for her, and walked up and down the streets, but there was no sight or sound of her. I felt helpless when going to bed that night. At four in the morning she woke me up with her cry, I hopped out of bed and scooped her into my arms for some nose kisses. I put her down and inspected her. She was filthy and smelled like oil and dirt. I found her paw bloody and mangled. I took her to the emergency animal hospital where I lived and the vet fixed her up.

What a relief she came home.

When I was going to college full time and working full time, she would wake me up when my alarm would go off in the morning by attacking my head. It was her way of saying, “Get up. Get to school. You can do it!� She would knock over a vase of flowers and spill water everywhere and I would feel relieved that there was life aside from just me living in my apartment. I would laugh and think, “Oh, my roommate makes such a mess.�

She was often my subject for practising with

my camera for photography class as I learned how to compose a photo. She was the subject of a few of my papers. My teacher kept one of them and put it on the wall in her office – a story about a mouse that slept underneath my breast one hot summer evening to be discovered the next morning by it FALLING OUT FROM UNDER MY SHIRT and then running around the kitchen floor while I too ran around the kitchen floor screaming in horror. True story.

Since having my daughter, Miss Kitty has gone through some changes. She’s aged, but she’s also become more fearless. In an attempt to get away from the unpredictable hands of my toddler, Miss Kitty hides more, but when my daughter falls fast asleep, she climbs in bed and snuggles up to me for nose to nose snuggles and she still sleeps in the same spot by my pillow, where she has slept on and off for the last 14 years.

Since having my daughter, I’m stretched a bit more than I used to be in the way of dealing with household chores and entertaining my daughter.

The love I feel for Miss Kitty is similar to the love I feel for my daughter, though it’s a bit different.

No matter what I’ve gone through in my life, whether it was figuring out the world for the first time on my own, going to College, the heartbreak of losing a loved one or the birth of my daughter, Miss Kitty has been through it all with me. In many ways she prepared me for motherhood by helping me exercise the qualities needed to put another being first, make hard decisions (finally closing the window and teaching her to use the door), and learning to cope with the worry that comes with loving someone so much and being responsible for their wellbeing.

While she is getting old, my goal is to keep giving her as much snuggles as she needs and as much love as she needs to keep her young at heart and in my life for many more years to come.

Here’s to the animals we love and the joy they bring to our hearts!

Eat Pure: Shred season is upon us!

by Nicole du Vent Eat Pure Mountain Market Special to Golden This Week If you want to shred hard, and I know you do, it is more important than ever to fuel your body with high performance food. Just like using premium fuel in a high-performance sled, your body will perform better with premium food. Are you looking for all day energy, fast recovery and less swelling and pain?

Read on for a few fool proof techniques to ramp up your riding without bursting your meager ski-bum budget.

4NPPUIJFT Start your day with a smoothie! You can also start it with a coffee, lemon water (flushes your liver if taken on an empty stomach), eggs and toast... but smoothies are the BEST way to get a lot of nutrition quickly.

Keep it simple; it’s dumping outside and you got to move fast. Frozen fruit (sugars = quick energy); hemp seeds (protein + healthy fats = build muscle and speed up recovery); spinach or kale (bonebuilding nutrients) with water or non-dairy milk and off you go! Having trouble with a sore knee or recovering from an injury? Add fresh turmeric and ginger to reduce inflammation. &BUJOH GPS FOFSHZ There are two equally important parts to “eating for energy.�

I know, when the flakes are falling at an alarming rate it is hard to think about anything except getting out the door as fast as possible, but with a little advanced planning you can get still get rolling quickly and not forget about eating. Skipping breaky is all too easy when you’re in rush, but you’ll pay for it later on when you’re burning out and your buddies want to hike another line.

Leftovers are key for me. We always cook extra and last night’s slow cooker creation is always prepackaged and ready to go into the muff-pot in the morning. If I’m split-boarding, I rely on protein and sugar (natural sugar) rich Bliss Balls (homemade raw energy balls/bars) that I can

4LJQQJOH CSFBLZ JT BMM UPP FBTZ XIFO ZPV SF JO SVTI CVU ZPV MM QBZ GPS JU MBUFS PO XIFO ZPV SF CVSOJOH PVU BOE ZPVS CVEEJFT XBOU UP IJLF BOPUIFS MJOF 1IPUP CZ %ZMBO 1BHF snack on throughout the day. This is where the “for energy� part comes in - eating a good balance of fast sugars along with carbohydrates and protein keeps you energetic throughout the day. Trail mix, bliss balls, smoothies; all of these are perfect for keeping your energy up without overwhelming your digestive system and slowing you down. )JHI 1FSGPSNBODF 1SPUFJO After your epic day, it’s time to recharge with high quality protein. Think protein just means MEAT? Think again. Some of the best sources of highly digestible protein are hemp seeds, spirulina and leafy greens. Hemp seeds are one of the few plant foods that are a complete protein (like a steak) and can be added to pretty much any food. Spirulina is like nature’s multi-vitamin - rich in a wide array of vitamins, minerals, protein and healthy fats, easily added to a smoothie. In fact, post shred is another great time for a nutrient rich smoothie!

Beans are another great option for protein and we all love chili or bean burritos! Have trouble digesting them? Try digestive enzymes with your meal. Your girlfriend will thank you. Beans and lentils are also CHEAP. Buy them in bulk, soak and cook up a bunch. Then, simply freeze them in little baggies. Now a can of beans costs pennies!

When it comes to meat, healthy free-range meats are now accessible and affordable. Choose chicken legs over breasts, ground pork over beef

or stewing meat over steak to save money. Oh and don’t forget EGGS! People have qualms about the price of organic and free range eggs, but when you can make six meals for less than the price of one steak, eggs are one of the most affordable protein sources around. /VUSJFOUT VEGETABLES! You need them and you might as well buy the ones with the most nutrients in them! Studies have proven that organic vegetables have more nutrients than their conventional counterparts.

Organic farming is much more holistic. Instead of relying on chemical fertilizers to feed crops, care is taken to rebuild the soil that the crops are grown in with microbial life, compost and manure. Nutrient rich soil births nutrient rich plants that are naturally disease and pest resistant and produce nutrient rich food meaning you need LESS of these foods to get the same about of nutrients! When paired up with healthy fats like those found in coconut, olive oil or hemp oil, your body will absorb nutrients efficiently and respond to all this goodness and your season will be epic!

Chocolate Bliss Balls Still reaching for cliff bars? Making your own energy bars or balls is easy and affordable. Bliss balls can be stored in the fridge for a month or

freezer for more. You need a good food processor to make them, but the cost of investing in one will quickly be recovered once you stop having to buy cardboard tasting protein bars and get into the bliss! t DVQ %BUFT t DVQT "MNPOET (or substitute more seeds for a nut free ball) t DVQ 1VNQLJO 4FFET t DVQ 4VOnPXFS 4FFET t DVQ $PDPOVU t DVQ 3BX $BDBP 1PXEFS t DVQ .FMUFE $PDPOVU 0JM t UCTQ 7BOJMMB &YUSBDU t UTQ 4QJSVMJOB t UTQ 4FB 4BMU 4PBL UIF EBUFT JO IPU XBUFS GPS NJOVUFT In a food processor grind almonds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds to a fine meal.

Teach a man to fish ...

by Claire Dibble Special to Golden This Week

Nick Laferriere grew up on a lake in Manitoba. As such, his lifelong interest in fishing should come as no surprise.

Taught by his father at a young age, Nick embraced the art of angling with a renewed fervor about ten years ago when he took up fly fishing. It was around this same time that fish, in all their detail and subtlety, began to inspire Nick’s longstanding interest in drawing. His drawings, where once they had been focused on birds and other themes from the natural world, began to focus on the fish he was seeing, catching, and releasing on a regular basis.

Fishing became Nick’s vocation, as well as hobby, leading him to spend summers in the arctic working as a fishing guide at Plummer’s Arctic Lodges. Before long, Nick’s fine pencil reproductions of fish were gracing the Plummer’s jackets. This was the spawning of Nick’s current career as a commercial artist. Although he’d enjoyed creating art since childhood, drawing was an enjoyable pastime up until this point. Rather than art school, Nick had gone to business school, a decision that ended up serving him well in the end.

For the past four years Nick has been working as a commercial artist, commissioned by outfitters and apparel companies throughout North America and Australia, to draw fish and other wildlife in fine detail. His artwork graces the stamp on the Manitoba fishing license, logos for fishing

lodges, and clothing in international retailers like Walmart. Part of what makes Nick’s work unique is his attention to detail, his tendency to draw fish in motion, and his discernible passion for the aquatic creatures he holds carefully in his hands and later recreates on paper. His reverence for the scrappy native Bull Trout is such that he couldn’t bring himself to keep and eat one, although that is permitted in BC. Elsewhere, including in Alberta, the Bull Trout is a protected species.

To hear him speak of the Bull Trout is to hear a friend speak of someone they admire.

There are many things Nick enjoys about his profession; going to the river for research is high among them. But also the freedom of being location independent, which is part of how Nick was able to move to Golden this fall when his partner, Irene Holy, had a work opportunity with the school district here. As long as there’s a healthy river system with fish swimming upstream, Nick has the capacity and inspiration to work.

In the first couple months of settling in to this new place, Nick has been slowly working at discovering his favorite fishing holes, preferably quiet spots away from other river goers.

As he familiarizes himself with the landscape and the fish, he’s building his reference library, a collection of images that he can call upon to make his drawings as realistic and true as possible. Referencing his personal library is not quite as effective with his current commissioned project, drawings of a crocodile skeleton, something he’s yet to pull out of a river.

History Column - Oh, those time changes!

by Duane Crandall Special to Golden This Week We had another time change on November 1 and you might have liked it, it did brighten up our mornings! Or you might not have liked it, since it considerably darkened our afternoons. Or you might just have wished they would stop changing it. “Just leave it alone, it takes me a whole week to get used to it,� I can hear some of you saying.

But I am here to tell you that regardless of whether we like it or not, at least we are getting precisely what we asked for. And we have been asked twice. We were asked the first time in 1952 and then again in 1972. Not only were we asked whether we wanted daylight saving time but we, on the eastern side of the province, were asked what time zone we wanted to be in.

These two times when citizens had an opportunity to have a say regarding time were both decided by referendum. It wasn’t just a group of people petitioning the government and asking for a decision, in which case it could have gone either way. They were both made into ballot issues where ‘we the people’ got to make the decision.

Time management is a provincial issue in Canada, and in both of these cases the government would have been responding to requests from residents wanting change. In both cases the MLA would have supported the requests for referendums. In the former case that was Tom King, and in the second it was Jim Chabot. Both referendums were held in conjunction with provincial elections.

The June 12, 1952 referendum dealt only with daylight saving time and involved most of the province. The referendum question was “Are you in favour of daylight saving?�

Our constituency, which in those days was called ‘Columbia’ turned daylight saving time down, but just by a whisker. 1050 people voted for it and there were 1070 votes opposed.

Why was it likely turned down? There is, of

'SPN A&MFDUPSBM )JTUPSZ PG #SJUJTI $PMVNCJB QBHF " UZQP OFBS UIF DFOUSF PG UIF HSBQIJD A5JNF 1MFCJTDJUF TIPVME SFBE A

course, no way of knowing for sure, especially after all these years, but time issues have always been more difficult for those in the farming industry where livestock have no respect for the hands of the clock. The cows had to milked when they had to be milked! So daylight saving time simply meant that a farmer, instead of getting up at 6 am to milk the cows, would have to get up at 5. It’s pretty hard to get excited about that, and through the years the effect on farmers has often been pointed to as one of the factors in that referendum being turned down.

So there was no change in our area in 1952 and there it sat for twenty years.

There was obviously continued interest, however, in pursuing change, especially along British Columbia’s eastern side. This time, in 1972, the referendum was conducted only in five provincial constituencies, North Peace River, South Peace River, Nelson-Creston, Kootenay (Cranbrook, Kimberley, Elk Valley) and the renamed Columbia riding, having been changed to

‘Columbia River.’ Residents of Golden whose memories go back to the ’50’s and ’60’s will remember that the time zone line did not used to be at Heather Hill, west of Golden, as it is now. It had always been at the B.C.-Alberta border or as we used to say, “the time changes at Field.� And this time the eastern B.C. residents who were lobbying for change also asked that the time zone be changed, in order to put us on Alberta time, with daylight saving time included. The rationale seemed to make sense.

We do a lot of business in Alberta, go there for medical treatments, university, and a host of other reasons.

The referendum, however, was a little confusing.

It wasn’t that hard for most residents to figure out what they were in favour of, but it was confusing to know which vote on the ballot was what the resident wanted. Usually in a referendum the question is worded so that if you are in favour of a change you would vote ‘yes.’

But the question read “Are you in favour of Pacific Standard time, including Pacific Daylight Saving time, as it is applicable now throughout the province?� In other words, if you wanted to move to Alberta time, with daylight saving, you had to vote ‘no,’ which made it seem as if you were voting against yourself. And if someone wanted to stay with B.C. time, with no daylight saving, they needed to vote ‘yes.’ So if you wanted no change to things the way they were, you had to vote ‘yes.’ Usually it is the other way around.

But the people figured it out and this time a change was made.

The Columbia River result was 1366 Yes votes and 2445 No votes. That put us on Alberta time and brought in daylight saving time, which is how it still is today, 43 years later.

So next spring, if we are cranky when we have to get up an hour earlier, we will at least know how it happened. Or if we like the extra hour to garden or play golf, we can find someone who lived here in ’72 and give them a hug.

It’s a Brighter Life - Why we wear the poppy

It’s not just to remember the fallen. The donations we make to the Royal Canadian Legion do good, important work.

By Kevin Press, BrighterLife.ca That poppy you’re wearing on your lapel today — left side please, close to the heart — represents more than you might think. Of course, it’s a symbol of our respect and appreciation for the more than 117,000 Canadians who died fighting the First and Second World War, the Korean War and other battles. But it’s also an economic symbol. It is the financial contribution we make each year at this time to the veterans who are still with us and need help.

“You’re doing two things,� he said. “You are wearing a poppy in commemoration. You’re wearing a poppy to symbolize the sacrifice of 117,000 Canadians who gave their lives to protect our freedoms. The second thing, by your donation, you’re supporting veterans across Canada as well.�

I wanted to learn more about where our donations go, so I called Bill Maxwell, senior program officer and secretary of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy and Remembrance Committee. “About $14 million is returned to the community for veterans’ programs across Canada,� Maxwell told me. That’s an annual figure. “Eighteen million poppies were worn by Canadians last year.�

The money pays for veterans’ care, housing, Meals on Wheels and other support programs.

Direct assistance is delivered to veterans and

their dependents in need of financial support.

The donation you make stays in your community, too. The funds are collected by Legion branches across the country, and are then held in local Poppy Trust Funds.

Maxwell is a Royal Canadian Mounted Police veteran. He speaks with the kind of crisp, authoritative tone that you’d expect from someone with his background. But it was clear, even from our quick call, that his work on the Poppy and Remembrance Committee means a great deal to him. I asked him why it’s so important to make a contribution. “You’re doing two things,� he said. “You are wearing a poppy in commemoration. You’re wearing a poppy to symbolize the sacrifice of 117,000 Canadians who gave their lives to protect our freedoms. The second thing, by your donation, you’re supporting veterans across Canada as well.�

The program runs each year, beginning on the last Friday in October and ending on Remembrance Day.

In the US for example, the National Confectioners Association of America poured $1 million into a 1944 campaign to promote the link between candy and those brave American GIs. Typically, Canadian efforts were more subdued. But the underlying message appeared to resonate: candy was no longer for children.

homegrown favourite, Coffee Crisp.

Demand for chocolate bars was outstripping all other types of confectionery, including boxed chocolate selections, and Canada’s largest manufacturers of bars were quick to seize upon this.

Neilson’s was the only Canadian candy manufacturer to process cocoa beans to make the chocolate liquor that formed the base of chocolate production. By the end of the war, Neilson had gained ground in the domestic market as Canada’s largest manufacturer of confectionery.
