2 CMBG welcomes new Brigade Commander Colonel Eric LandryBy Lisa BrazeauPetawawa Post

mand in June of 2018, and the following September the brigade embarked on the year-long Road to High Readiness.

In March of this year, a contingent of Brigade per-sonnel and equipment had deployed to Wainwright for Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE 20, a multinational train-ing exercise to confirm the brigade’s readiness for de-ployment. Though it was subsequently cancelled due to COVID-19, “we turned

the ship around and ensured we readied ourselves for do-mestic operations and inter-national deployments,” not-ed Col Adair. “Canada does not defend on the goal line.”

Today the Brigade has 550 soldiers deployed, he said, and will deploy a Task Force based on 2nd Regi-ment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (2 RCHA) to the Ukraine in October.

In addition to his great appreciation for the soldiers, sailors, air men and women of

the Brigade, he also extended his heartfelt thanks to Brigade Sergeant Major Chief War-rant Officer Michael Forest for his always sound advice, compassion and loyalty; and gratitude to his family for their unwavering patience and support.

Col Adair also praised the Brigade’s commanders, from the Section 2 ICs to the Commanding Officers.

“Keep doing what you’re doing,” he said. “Never be apologetic about caring, not

coddling but genuinely car-ing, putting others first and being restlessly passionate and endlessly curious about our profession, ensuring you do everything you can to ready your teams for the worst case.”

Turning to the incom-ing Commander, Col Adair remarked he could think of “no one better prepared or suited to command this fighting formation.

“You are answering this command with a deep sense

of humility. You epitomize what this brigade stands for. You are thoughtful, you are a warrior, and I know that you’ll fulfill the covenant of trust that comes with com-mand.”

The intimate ceremony, held both in person and vir-tually, was presided over by 4th Canadian Division Com-mander Brigadier-General (BGen) Conrad Mialkowski and included the traditional signing of command scrolls.

In his final address as 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (2 CMBG) Commander, Colonel Jason Adair reflected on the 5,000 Canadian military members who landed at Dieppe 78 years ago. He compared the Canadians who fought there “valiantly, against all odds,” to those he had the honour of commanding for the past two years.

“Today, just like in 1942, our ranks remain filled with spirited Canadians who ... proudly wear the cloth of our nation,” he said. “We choose duty before self and we prepare every day for the worst case.

“Your infectious spirit coupled with your dis-cipline, irreverence, and light heartedness inspires and motivates me, but at the same time it keeps me grounded,” he added. “I’ve learned more from you that I could have ever taught you - I hope I’ve lived up to your expectations. You certainly lived up to mine.”

On August 21, 2 CMBG bid farewell to Col Adair, welcoming incoming Com-mander Colonel Eric Landry.

Social distancing proto-cols, which have become the new normal, have caused the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to forego some ele-ments of the traditional Change of Command. In lieu of a parade square filled with soldiers from 2 CMBG, the proceedings were available on the Brigade Facebook page to allow the communi-ty to witness this important event.

‘Quilts of Valour’ offer comfort to injured CAF members, veterans

Quilts of Valour - Canada (QOVC) has made it a goal to comfort as many injured Ca-nadian Armed Forces mem-bers as possible by giving them handmade quilts.

A presentation of three of these quilts was made in front of the Petawawa Cenotaph on August 25 to three former military members, Corporal (Ret’d) Steve Clark, Warrant Officer (Ret’d) Jack Van Ge-meren and Master Warrant Officer (Ret’d) Dean Hiscock.

Their combined service includes deployments to Germany, Lebanon, Golan Heights, Bosnia, Germany, Croatia, Somalia, Afghani-stan and the Gulf War.

They were all accompa-nied by loved ones when they received their quilts.

“To me, it is an honour to be presenting these quilts,” said QOVC representative Amy Taylor.

Each quilt represents a fab-ric hug, wrapping the veteran and bringing them solace. By creating these masterpieces, these quilters are telling CAF

members that they are appre-ciated and supported. They are uniquely designed with each recipient in mind, crafted lovingly by a small team of quilters. Their names are af-fixed on a label on the back of the quilt.

“There are complete strangers out there that re-ally, really care about the military,” said Taylor.

It is a labour intensive task to create a quilt, and teams worked on each to ensure it was perfect for the recipient. Dana Draper-Myra created Clark’s quilt; Hiscock received one made by Sue McNamara and the Pembroke Log Cabin Quilters. Van Gemeren’s own was created by Jean Ostrom and the Pembroke Log Cabin Quilters. Mark and Wendy Lou Robinson Henderson quilted all three.

On the following day, August 26, Warrant Officer (WO) Daniel Larente also found himself wrapped in a beautiful, colourful quilt, presented to him in front of his family and members of his Chain of Command.

“It is something I’ve nev-er received before,” said WO Larente.

His mother, Rejeanne Lar-ente had nominated her son to receive a quilt. She wanted him to know how loved he is and to be recognized for ev-erything he has done and sac-

rificed over the past 14.5 years in the military.

“It’s not a medal, but it is a medal of honour in a way because not everybody gets it,” said his father, Henry

Larente. “If you get it, it’s an honour to receive.”

Larente’s quilt was cre-ated by Sandy Green, who is with the Ottawa QOVC Chapter.

Though each quilt takes countless hours to assemble and hand sew, Taylor was adamant that they be used and enjoyed.

CWO Durnford joins MPs for Ride-Along

On August 28, 2 Military Police Petawawa was privileged to have 4th Canadian Division Support Group Formation Sergeant Major Chief Warrant Officer Jack Durnford attend the detachment for a Ride-Along. CWO Durford observed a variety of MP operational activities and engaged with patrol members in a broad spectrum of positive information sharing discussions. Thank you to CWO Durnford for taking the time out of his busy schedule (and weekend!) to work a night shift with us. (Submitted photo)

The Division Commander also present-ed Col Adair with a Commander’s Coin, a representation of “the acts of your leader-ship, of your attention, of your profession-alism and the dedication where you whole-heartedly threw your spirit into everything that this Brigade did.”

Changes of Command ceremonies, BGen Mialkowski said, are bitter sweet oc-casions, opportunities to both celebrate and reflect. But they are also acts of confidence in the individuals receiving the mantle of leadership.

“Eric, you are exactly the right person, the right leader at the right time,” he said of the in-coming commander, describing him as highly motivated, adaptable and professional.

Col Landry comes to the Brigade from his former position as 1st Canadian Air Division Chief of Staff. He is the 16th Commander of 2 CMBG since its reformation in 1995.

In his inaugural address, he recalled his first visit to Petawawa in 1993 to attend the

pre-course for the Basic Parachute Course. “At that time, I never thought I’d be

back here 27 years later to accept command of this Brigade,” he said.

He commended the outgoing commander for preparing the Brigade for the challenges ahead; “you really set me up for success.

“Colonel Adair’s determination to im-prove the capabilities of the Brigade has left me with quite the legacy to live up to; I am grateful to him for leaving me such a daunting task.”

He noted the Road to High Readiness is never easy, especially when travelled dur-ing such uncertain times.

“I, however, am confident that the war-riors of this Brigade will continue to deliver the highest levels of support to the division regardless of the obstacles in our path,” he added. “I am certain that every soldier and civilian employee will continue to excel and together we will be a force that Cana-dians continue to be proud of.”

Quilts of Valour - Canada (QOVC) presented three veterans with a quilt of their own on Aug. 25. Master Warrant Officer (Ret’d) Dean Hiscock, Corporal (Ret’d) Steve Clark and Warrant Officer (Ret’d) Jack Van Gemeren wrap themselves in their quilts in front of the Petawawa Cenotaph.

“One of the quilters made sure to tell me to make sure that they don’t hang it on their wall, that it doesn’t sit on the back of their couch, that it is getting love because that’s what people made it for,” said Taylor.

Quilts of Valour - Canada was founded in 2006 by Lezley Zwaal in Edmonton and is currently directed by Mary Ewing out of

Ottawa. Since then, it has grown exponen-tially with a goal to donate 20,000 by the end of 2020, which is currently almost complete. About 75 per cent of the quilts have now been presented to veterans.

450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron welcomed five

newly qualified avionics technicians to its mainte-nance family on July 31st 2020.

AVS 2001 students were on course for forty-four training days where they learned how to maintain the avionics systems on the CH-147F Chinook he-licopter. Upon completion of the course, the students obtained their Performance of Maintenance (POM) au-thorizations on the CH-147F Avionics Systems.

These new members of

450 THS are now able to be employed both at home and abroad and will help to develop other apprentices within the fleet.

For AVS 2001, the award for top student was pre-sented to Corporal Hough. Cpl Hough’s mechanical aptitude, task leadership, task supervision, teamwork and overall attitude sur-passed the expectations of the course.

Congratulations to the graduates of AVS 2001!

4 CDSG CO, FSM attend firefighter training

4th Canadian Division Support Group (4 CDSG) Commander Colonel (Col) John Vass, 4 CDSG Formation Sergeant Major Chief Warrant Of-ficer (CWO) Jack Durnford and 4 CDSG Com-mander’s Personal Assistant Lieutenant Aniqa Khan were introduced to structural firefighting at the Garrison Petawawa smoke tower on August 26 to gain a better understanding of what is in-volved with one aspect of firefighting. The dem-onstration included using bunker gear, as well as Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and involved participants being subjected to the atmo-sphere of a simulated structural fire. The intention was to give Command an insight into the basic operations of structural firefighting. Col Vass and CWO Durnford were extremely impressed with how hard and often our firefighters train to maintain their skills and be so proficient with their equipment so they are always prepared for that call as first responders.

ATTENTION RHU RESIDENTS: BULK PICKUP

Bulk Item pickup is the week of 13 TO 18 SEPTEM-BER 2020. Do not place bulk items out before 13 Septem-ber 2020.

Please refer to the chart on your collection schedule to ensure that you are follow-ing the guidelines for bulk pickup items or refer to www.ovwrc.com

Note: Residents are still putting out large boxes, specif-ically furniture and television boxes. They will not be picked up because if they are larger than 18” as they will not fit in the space on the waste manage-ment truck. Please break these large cardboard boxes down to the required size. Also, remove the styrofoam and put it with your regular garbage in black plastic bags. If these steps are not followed, it costs money to have them disposed of.

Remember: if you have bulk items that need to be dis-posed of during the year, it is your responsibility to take these items to the waste dis-posal site. The details for direc-tions and times they are open can be found on your Town of Petawawa Collection Schedule.

Two questions: ‘So what if I do?’ and ‘So what if I don’t?’ They both have consequenc-

es, however you will always come up with the right an-swer. If every occupant who reads this article tells a friend and that friend tells another friend, well, you can clearly see where this is going.

If you have any ques-tions, specifically the 5Ws of living in a Residential Hous-ing Unit, please refer to the Occupancy Handbook on line at www.cfha-alfc.forces.gc.ca, the Garrison Adminis-trative Instructions, or sim-ply give the Canadian Forc-es Housing Agency a call at 613-687-0000 and follow the instructions on the record-ing to speak with a Custom-er Service Representative.

We all have a responsibil-ity to keep our environment a clean and safe place to live and play. I am confident that the residents of the Residen-tial Housing Units will do what is right.

On behalf of The Canadian Forces Housing Agency and 4th Canadian Division Support Base Petawawa Personnel Ser-vices, I extend their gratitude and remind our residents to be safe and continue to follow the guidelines and procedures for COVID-19.

LAURENTIAN VALLEY – Col-lection of large household goods will be happening soon for residents in the Town of Petawawa, City of Pem-broke and Township of Laurentian Valley. Acceptable items must not be placed curbside earlier than Sunday, September 13.

Mark Behm, Township of Lau-rentian Valley Public Works Man-ager, wants residents to be aware of some precautions that are in place to protect residents and the collection contractor, Miller Waste.

“Residents are reminded to not approach collection staff in order to respect physical distancing. Scav-enging of materials that are set-out for large item collection is not per-mitted under Municipal By-Laws.”

In order for material to be collect-ed it must be properly separated into four different piles:

Scrap Metal Items & Non-Freon Metal Appliances

• BBQs, stainless steel sinks, bikes, exercise equipment, microwave ov-ens and non-freon metal appliances (oven, washer, dryer, dishwasher). Small metal appliances (irons, ket-tles, toasters) should be placed in your yellow bin (remove and discard cords in garbage).

Freon Appliances• Fridges, freezers, air conditioners, water coolers, dehumidifiers. Freon does not have to be removed. Remove lids & doors from fridges/freezers.

Acceptable Large Items• Artificial Christmas Trees (Remove from cardboard box)• Boxsprings and mattresses• Broken garbage cans, plastic totes, etc. (Must be labeled “For Collection”)• Carpets and underlay• Furniture (desks, couches)• Luggage & hockey bags larger than

9” x 14” x 22” • Mops, brooms, shovels & rakes (non-metal)• Plastic – Large, bulky household plastic items (children’s swimming pools, lawn chairs, outdoor toys)• Pool covers

Electronic Waste • TV’s, computers, radios, speakers

“Set-out of non-acceptable items continued to be a problem during the large item collection in the Spring,” stated Behm. “This collection is in-tended for larger household items like furniture and mattresses which means small items are not collected. Items like coffee makers, flower pots, shoes and clothing may be placed out with your regular garbage in a bag or container, not during large item col-lection. Bags of garbage, materials in cardboard boxes and construction and renovation materials will not be picked-up either.”

Residents are reminded of the other set out requirements for Large Item Collection:

• Items smaller than 9” x 14” x 22” or items that can fit into a standard gar-bage bag or can WILL NOT be col-lected. • Material placed out in cardboard boxes or garbage bags or containers WILL NOT be collected.• Construction and Renovation ma-terial such as toilets, wood, windows and doors and wooden pallets WILL NOT be collected. • Tires and hazardous waste such as propane tanks, paint cans and fluores-cent light bulbs WILL NOT be collected. • Clothing and textiles WILL NOT be collected. • Acceptable materials must be man-ageable by two people and cannot ex-ceed 80 lbs, 27 cubic feet or 6 feet long.

DO NOT place items out earlier than Sunday, September 13th. Collec-tion will occur the week of September 14th on your regular collection day.

Additional information on Mu-nicipal Waste Management pro-grams is available on your collection schedule or at www.ovwrc.com.

Town of Petawawa welcomes Peak Hot Yoga to business communityPETAWAWA - The Town of Petawawa of-

ficially welcomed Peak Hot Yoga to its busi-ness community on August 12.

Located at 3067 Petawawa Boulevard, the studio space features a 1,000 sq. ft. yoga room, outfitted shower and washroom facili-

ties, Lululemon retail and a space for Bodhi Wellness and Holistic Physiotherapy. The interior is a harmonious blend of natural woods with high end luxury finishes.

“Designing an elevated but inclusive cul-ture where people feel welcome, respected,

inspired, and belong, has been the motiva-tion behind the creation of Peak Hot Yoga,” explained registered yoga teachers Brianna Branch and Heidi Erdle. “Our purpose is to support physical health and emotional resilience of our community, helping create healthier, happier and more successful fami-lies and individuals.”

Hot yoga promotes ease of movement and helps participants sweat and detoxify. The heat comes from an infrared system de-

signed to warm participants; room tempera-ture is adjusted to match the variation and difficulty of class instruction.

Peak Hot Yoga is a place to complement the greater community’s professional athletic pur-suits but also a space for yoga students to dive deeper into their own experience, recover from the stresses of day-to-day and find calm.

To lear more about Peak Hot Yoga, please contact Brianna Branch or Heidi Erdle at 613-506-7325 or email team@peakhotyoga.com.

(Above left to right) On hand for the official ribbon cutting were Deputy Mayor Gary Ser-viss, councillor Theresa Sab-ourin, Peak Hot Yoga owner Heidi Erdle, Mayor Bob Sweet, owner Brianna Branch, and councillors Matthew McLean and James Carmody.

Pumpkin Folks return to town for annual Petawawa Ramble

In just a few weeks, the town will play host to some strange orange visitors dur-ing its second annual Pet-awawa Ramble Festival.

These pumpkin-headed folks will be cropping up in front of businesses and homes throughout the town, but do not fear an invasion. These friendly gourds are just decorative and part of the harvest-themed fun.

The pumpkin folk are the signature trademark piece of this fall festival, which will be held on Oct. 15 to Oct. 18. The multiple pumpkin folk displays throughout town will hopefully encour-age people to get into the fall spirit and out of the house to take a self-guided tour.

This annual festival is in its second iteration and has grown and adapted to the current ‘new normal’ of CO-VID-19.

Many events have been cancelled this year, but by modifying the festival to be slightly more socially dis-tant, organizers have been able to continue forward.

“At the heart of the idea of this festival, it is about so-cial distancing,” said Valerie Hyska, one of the Ramble Committee members. “It’s about spending time with your family, your immediate group of people, travelling around the community look-ing at displays and going to businesses. Just engaging with your family.”

Participating businesses will be added to a map that people can pick up and follow. Residential households in-volved will not be on the map to preserve privacy. There will be prizes, however, for homes with the best displays.

“This is really a new component to our Petawawa Ramble,” Hyska said. “Year two, we really wanted to bring in the residents of the town and let them partici-pate by inviting them to put out a display on their private property on their house.”

The judged residential har-vest displays will be up from Sept. 28 to Oct. 25, but people must register by Sept. 18.

“This part will be more of a self-discovery of your neigh-bourhood,” said Hyska, add-ing it will be an extra some-thing for walkers to enjoy.

There will also be five in-tersections in town decorat-ed with harvest displays or-ganized by local businesses.

But looking at fall splen-dour isn’t the only activity during this festival.

There will be an out-door music show, Pints and Gourds. Tickets are limited, and groups will be separated from one another to maintain safety standards. During the show, there will be live mu-sic, craft beer and food.

Local businesses will also have their own smaller activities within their stores, such as providing free apple cider to clients, and exclu-sive sales.

The event is made possible through the support of local sponsors. The title sponsor is Mike’s Hardware Doors & So Much More. The Pumpkin and Gourds sponsor is H&H Construction, the Business Pumpkin Folks sponsor is McKie Pools and Spas, and the Residential Pumpkin Folks sponsor is Cindy Sell. Other sponsors have donated gift certificates to the prize baskets.

Backyard chicken advocates Laura Hanek and Jordan Rabishaw approached the Town of Petawawa with the hopes of convincing them to expand their bylaws regarding poultry.

The two had been invited to explain the benefits of owning backyard chickens to coun-cil during an unprecedented meeting on Aug. 17. The crowd of supporters was so large that the session had to be held at the Petawawa Civ-ic Centre instead of council chambers.

Backyard chickens are currently allowed where the property is zoned agricultural-rural. But most homes that fall within town boundaries are not permitted to host a coop.

“I’m not advocating that every person in a condo or apartment complex have a chicken in the parking lot,” said Rabishaw, “I don’t think that is feasible. But I do think that if you own your property and you have delineated boundaries, you should be able to keep chickens in your backyard.”

There are benefits to raising a flock.Hens help clean the yard by eating grass

and insects. They create excellent fertilizer and act as a natural organic waste disposal, eating most food scraps. Some people say that chickens make great pets as they can be gentle and friendly when raised with a lov-ing hand. And, of course, they provide meat and eggs for their owners.

“There is a big disconnect with people and their food currently,” said Rabishaw. “There is a new yearning to find out where your food comes from,” he added, noting many people have a desire to take on the re-sponsibilities of animal husbandry.

Currently, there are about 11 major cities that allow backyard chicken, which include Brampton, Niagara Falls, and Kingston, Ont.

If the couple’s pleas are answered, the by-law in Petawawa would be changed to allow up to six birds per residential home.

Those with chickens would have to ad-here to any rules the town institutes.

Some of the councillors had apprehen-sions about the proposition and worried whether or not keeping chickens would be a nuisance for neighbours.

“With chicken bedding, as long as it is kept dry, it won’t smell, and with noise, if there is no rooster, there is no problem,” said Hanek.

The proposal ultimately peaked council’s interest, but if they were to move forward, they would want to try it as a pilot project.

There is no timeline set regarding how long it will take to formulate a plan.

For those interested in owning hens, there is a petition on change.org to amend the Pet-awawa bylaw governing backyard chickens. By Aug. 17, there were 1,187 signatures.

OVH youth baseball back in play

With baseball now per-mitted, the Ottawa Valley Highlanders (OVH) have hit the field, ready to take on their competition.

The game had to be slightly altered through the

Ontario Baseball Association (OBA) safety regulations. Still, it remains relatively the same, so these young people can enjoy the sport without fear of getting sick.

“They are very organized and have proper protocols set in place that allowed us to return to sport,” said An-

drew Chubak, OVH coach.Baseball was the first

youth sport allowed to re-turn as it is an extreme sport with natural social distanc-ing for most of the players.

The OVH offers a com-petitive baseball experi-ence with U11, U13 and U16 teams, with the latter

having played against the Kanata Cubs on Aug. 15 at the Petawawa Indian Ball Diamond.

These players came from as far as Golden Lake to face their competitors. Though they lost 3 to 2, they put on a good show, batting over 500 balls for the season.

“We had some of the best boys from Kanata and some of our best from Ren-frew County representing the OV Highlanders,” said Chubak.

The Highlanders are still in their fledgeling phase, having been created about

four years ago. But all their teams are still a force to be reckoned with, and they are well-known in the local sporting world.

“Little League is fun, but it wasn’t competitive enough for some of these kids,” said Dustin Dorken, OVH coach. “So we got into OBA.”

To see them return to the field warmed his heart.

“It’s good to see the kids outdoors,” said Dorken.

The season did start late, but they are making up for lost time, and they will stretch their playing out un-til Labour Day weekend.

To entice kids into the sport, they have created a baseball camp for those 12 and under.

This camp will be held on Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Petawawa Indian Ball Diamond, with a rain date the next day. Following the camp, people can enjoy watching the OVH’s U13s play their rivals.

McCluskey Group and Petawawa Tim Hortons sponsor this camp.

Baseball is the first sport back in play with competitive games for its youth players. On Aug. 15, the Ottawa Valley Highlanders played against the Kanata Cubs at the Petawawa Indian Ball Diamond. Here, seconds before the opposing player reaches first base, Jake Scheuneman catches the ball. (Photos by Patricia Leboeuf, Petawawa Post)

The Kanata Cub catcher’s mouth opens in shock and surprise as Rian Dowd hits the ball, further than either expected.

Westan Stiller kept his eye on the ball, swinging in the hopes of hitting a home run.

WHEELER, Stanley Joseph “Stan” – It is with profound sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Stanley Joseph Wheeler, retired Warrant Officer, CD, Canadian Armed Forces, at home on Saturday, June 6, 2020, in London, following an exceptionally courageous and brave fight with cancer at the age of 60 years. Stan will be forever loved and missed by his wife Laurie (nee Farr), whose steadfast love for him was no more apparent than in his last months of his life as she cared for him in their home. He will be greatly missed by his constant companion and furry buddy Charlie.

Stan was the treasured brother of his proud siblings: Elaine (Russel), Sonny (Debbie), Yvonne (Mike), Nancy, Madeline (Greg), Vernon (Vickie), Ross (Alice), Debbie (Bud) & Wanda (Glen) all of Nova-Scotia or Newfoundland. Admired brother-in-law of Debbie Farr, of Pembroke. Stan is also survived by many nieces and nephews. He will be fondly remem-bered and deeply missed by true friends Mark & Kathy Prescott, Ron & Kathy Merk and Paul Paris. Predeceased by parents Hughie & Lorraine Wheeler; sister Jaunita; parents-in-law Cyril & Beverley Farr (nee Prescott) and brother-in-law Kevin Farr. Stan enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces and honorably served his country for 20 years with the Cana-dian Airborne Regiment and the RCR Battle School. He successfully completed several advanced infantry certifications during his eight years in the Airborne Regiment, including Master Sniper and Pathfinder, which are long hailed as some of the most grueling and chal-lenging courses in the Canadian Army. Stan was qualified Mountain Operations Instructor, Jumpmaster, Parachute Instructor and Advanced Recce Patrolman. He completed a 6-month tour of duty as a UN peacekeeper in Cyprus. Stan was a soldier’s soldier and was greatly respected by his peers and superiors. Stan was born in Newfoundland and his sense of hu-mour was always evident. His random acts of kindness and generosity were felt by many throughout his life.

Visitation will take place at the Malcolm, Deavitt & Binhammer Funeral Home on Friday, September 4, 2020 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Graveside Service will be held at Holy Trinity Anglican Cemetery, Pembroke on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. DUE TO THE CURRENT RE-STRICTIONS A LIMITED NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE PERMITTED AT THE FU-NERAL HOME AND AT THE CEMETERY. *Therefore, please call the funeral home at 613-732-3637 if you wish to attend. *Those wishing to make a donation to honour Stan’s mem-ory are asked to consider Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre or the London Regional Cancer Program. Online donations/condolences are available at www.mdbfuneralhome.com.
