Shape the future of remembrance and recognition in Canada

We are pleased to announce that our consultation on the future of remembrance is now live.

As Canada’s Veterans evolve, so too should the ways we commemorate them. Earlier this year, we introduced our broadened approach to commemoration that aims to recognize all those who have served our country in uniform, here at home and around the world.

How do you think we should recognize and commemorate those who served in Canada’s military, peacekeeping and humanitarian missions over the next decade?

Starting today, we invite Veterans, their families and all Canadians to share their thoughts on this important topic through our online consultation on the future of remembrance.

The online consultation is open from 18 June to 9 July 2021.

We encourage you to share this widely within your network.

District A is one of nine districts in

Ontario Command.

There are seven Zones in this district,

with a total of 57 branches.

HOLY ROLLER, an M4A2 Sherman tank is the only tank of the 1st Hussars and only one of two in the Canadian Army to survive from D-Day to V.E. Day. It has rested peacefully in Victoria Park, in London Ontario since 1956 as a memorial to all those who served and especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It will soon be our last WWII veteran and it needs our help.
The 1st Hussars through the 1st Hussars Cavalry Fund, a registered charity has embarked on a major fundraising campaign to facilitate the preservation of HOLY ROLLER. This summer HOLY ROLLER will be removed from Victoria Park, parts and metal will be repaired and replaced as necessary, the memorial will be preserved and painted and placed on a new pad in the park in time for the 150th Anniversary of the 1st Hussars in June of 2022.
To help promote the preservation of the memorial the project has teamed with Toboggan Breweries to produce the HOLY ROLLER Lager. A percentage of each case or keg sold by Toboggan goes to the preservation of HOLY ROLLER. Toboggan must make the deliveries so for the moment we are limiting the distribution to within a two hour drive of London. I'm requesting your assistance in distributing the attached information sheet to the Royal Canadian Legion branches in Zones A-4, A-5, and A-7. We have already canvassed branches in A-6. Branches can support the project by stocking HOLY ROLLER Lager at the bar, and requesting their local liquor store carry it , if they aren't already. Individual members or branches may also wish to donate directly to the project. Donors may find additional information at www.holyrollermemorial.ca. I would also be pleased to speak to any zones or branches on the project

Thank you for your assistance and support.

Yours in comradeship,

Ian
