  • to educate youth on the role of Veterans in securing the rights and freedoms that they enjoy;
  • to preserve Veterans’ memories of war times for historical record;
  • to promote recognition and honouring of local Veterans;
  • to support continued remembrance and honouring of deceased Veterans.

 WE VALUE

  • learning from history and maintaining an historical archive;

  • the future contributions to society of present generations;
  • peaceful means of conflict resolution.

WE ENVISION

  • a community that respects and honours the Veterans who were responsible for securing the rights and freedoms that we enjoy and the quality of life that we often take for granted;
