Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 1 It is with great pride that I once again extend my sincere appreciation on behalf of the Government of Nova Scotia to our military members, veterans, and their families for the tremendous contributions and sacrifices they have, and continue to make, ensuring our safety, both domestically and abroad. The history of Nova Scotia has always been deeply intertwined with that of our nation’s military, molding our province into what it is today. This is in no small part thanks to our active duty and veteran community that help shape the social fabric of Nova Scotia. I know this as the Minister responsible for Military Relations, the MLA of Eastern Passage; home of CFB Shearwater, Co-Chair of the Seamless Canada Standing Committee, and as a proud mother of a son in the Canadian Armed Forces. Time and time again, Nova Scotians have made personal sacrifices to protect their home, their loved ones and their country. This fact is not lost on me and I believe it is crucial to continue to push these stories to the forefront. I wish to support these efforts where, and whenever, I am able. Be that through supporting memorial projects recognizing the actions of our veterans, ensuring our Province is paving the way on Seamless Canada initiatives that make the lives of military families easier, or simply promoting the actions of those who have, and continue to, serve for our country. In May 2024, I had the honour of being appointed the Provincial Co-Chair for the Seamless Canada Steering Committee. In this role I will work with the Federal Co-Chair, as well as provincial and territorial colleagues, to discuss how we can work collaboratively to improve the lives of Canada’s service members and their families. Our current priorities include healthcare, spousal employment, and childcare and dependent education. I would like to make a particular point this year to recognize that this year not only the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force, but also the 20th anniversary of this publication, highlighting the steadfast commitment of the Nova Scotia Nunavut Command of the Royal Canadian Legion, to honouring the members of our military community. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work! Honourable Barbara Adams, MLA Minister of Justice and Attorney General Minister responsible for Military Relations Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care NS Department of Intergovernmental Affairs
