Red Friday 100 Mile House ~

Posted in 100 MIle House, Canada, Canadian Armed Forces, Red Friday

 

Red Friday in Canada 

People in Canada have worn red on Fridays to show support for troops serving in the Canadian Forces. Red is chosen because it is an official Canadian color, and historically is a color of remembrance because it symbolizes the red poppies in Flanders Fields and the loss of life that the country has endured.

Many positions in the House of Commons do not allow employees to dress outside of uniform, but allow staff to wear a red ribbon as a compromise. This is the only exception to these dress codes other than wearing a poppy for Remembrance Day.

excerpt taken from Wikipedia

The Royal Canadian Legion in 100 Mile House celebrates Red Friday with a parade every year.  This year it was held on June 7th.  There were  guest pipers from  Williams Lake  along with supporters of our Canadian Armed Forces , Cadets and Ex Servicemen.  I always enjoy pipers in a parade.  They  remind me of my Dad when I was a kid  every Sunday he would play his marching band records.  He served in the Korean War and other theatres of peacekeeping  during his time in the Canadian Armed Forces .

DSC_1844 copyweb4DSC_1851 copyweb3DSC_1852 copyweb5DSC_1857 copyThis fellow was a participant in the parade and deservedly so ~ This Veteran is James D. Milliken born  March 10, 1921 he joined the Canadian Navy at the age of 18 in May 1939.  Mr. Milliken was a submarine detector for the duration of World War 2.  He spent 55 months in the North Atlantic .  He displays his medals proudly.  Thank you for your Service Mr. Milliken~
web6DSC_1909 copyweb7DSC_1887 copyMr. Bob Wagensteen is  one of the main forces behind Red Friday’s in 100 Mile House. Acknowlegement goes to the students from 100 Mile Junior School  who support our Canadian Armed Forces..

Relay For Life ~ 100 Mile House ~ 2013

Posted in 100 MIle House, Canadian Cancer Society, Cancer Relay For Life, Fund raisers

 

This blog In Memory of Jack Barnett~

 

Out of respect for those living with cancer and those who have passed away because of cancer I try to attend the Cancer Relay For Life when I can .  Seems to me each year it has rained on this day  but eventually the sun does shine .  I believe there were 23 teams this year.  To All of the volunteers and organizers I salute you  for all of your countless hours of volunteering which makes this event a success and to all of the sponsors and donators without your contributions events & cures for different types of cancer  just don’t happen.  Here are a few photos I took today while walking the trail with Faye & Mun ~
