Minister of Veterans Affairs Kent Hehr visits Douglas TIFFANY LEPACK tlepack@metroland.com

There were many special guests at the Douglas Remembrance Day service on Nov. 4. For all of them, it was clear with their stories of the past that passing them on to the children of St. Michael’s Catholic School and Cobden were of the utmost importance. Minister of Veterans Affairs Kent Hehr called it an absolute honour and privilege to be in Douglas to kick off Veterans Week. As to why he wanted to start the week in Admaston-Bromley Township it was important for him to come to somewhere he had never been before. “We have to continue to do outreach,” said Hehr. “As minister you look to areas you can go to share the story of the men and women who have served this great nation and recognize the communities that are actively participating in sharing the story with the young and old alike.” He said a big part of his job is commemoration. “Honouring those 2.3 million Canadians who have served in our armed forces, whether they are in Liberal ridings, Conservative ridings or NDP ridings, it’s important for us as a government to show that we recognize all Canadians that we are being part of the mosaic this great country is.”

He stressed an event like this, even though the riding is held by Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant, was non-partisan. “I know Member of Parliament Gallant respects and honours our veterans and military heritage as bravely and boldly as I do,” said Hehr. “You are 100 per cent correct that when it comes to recognizing the contributions of the men and women who have served this is a non-partisan occasion.” Hehr told media before the event that his government ran an aggressive campaign to do things better for veterans and their families, including more job/ educational opportunities and better mental and physical health supports. He was also very proud of the fact the Liberal government has pledged to reopen the nine Veterans Affairs offices that were closed under the previous government. So far they have opened two and a third is planned to reopen next week, he said. As to veterans who face mental health challenges, Hehr said there is no doubt the mind/body connection is very important. “We know that when a man or woman serves it has great complexities to it. When you take off that jersey we have an obligation to be there to provide support,” said Hehr. See VALLEY, page 3
