Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 1 On behalf of the Government of Nova Scotia, I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to our Nova Scotia military members, veterans and their families for the enormous contributions and sacrifices they have made and continue to make to ensure our safety, both domestically and abroad. I’m proud of our Province’s longstanding military history and I want to acknowledge the important role our veterans and troops play in our Province’s social fabric. I know this as the Minister of Military Relations, the MLA of Eastern Passage; home of CFB Shearwater, and as the proud mother of a son in the Canadian Armed Forces. Nova Scotians have participated in all of Canada’s military operations abroad and continue to play a critical role during times of domestic hardship, including their rapid response in assisting in environmental disaster relief, search and rescue efforts, and more. I would like to acknowledge the Nova Scotia Nunavut Command of the Royal Canadian Legion for all they do to support our veterans, including honouring them in this annual Veterans Recognition Book. We are forever indebted to our veterans for their selflessness and bravery during service. The Canadian Armed Forces truly are the backbone of our East Coast community, and our Province is immensely proud of our troops, both past and present, for their valuable service and sacrifice. Honourable Barbara Adams, MLA Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister responsible for Military Relations NS Department of Intergovernmental Affairs
