In Memory of Sgt Philip Bell, HastyP’s, Sicily Italy, and Pvt. John Morral, Essex Scottish, Dieppe.

Thank you veterans…. I am here because you were there !

Please accept my sincerest appreciation as to whatever role(s) you filled in the Canadian Armed Forces

Thank you for the incredible effort and difficult sacrifices which you made on behalf of future generations!

My father was a WW II vet who nearly lost his life (Samuel Walker, dispatch rider, Artillery)who named me after his good friend (Eric Foliot, navigator, Bomber Command) who did not survive, so Remembrance Day is always important to me as I think of you who suffered so much.

On this day we remember the sacrifices of so many. Even those that returned home had wounds if not physical then mental as well. Thank you for stepping up for democracy, the future that we are enjoying and standing for Canada. We honour you and your comrades.

It is easy enough to say may we never forget the sacrifices, the valour, the determination of all of you who are veterans of any conflict or of any peacekeeping mission. I hope that our actions will always speak louder than our words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I want to thank all of you for being so brave and courageous and how you protected democracy in the European nation and of course in Canada and the USA. If it wasn't for our Veterans, how safe would we be in Canada today?

We are blessed to live in this country. We often take for granted the freedom we have. This freedom is possible only because of the brave men and women who were willing to fight and even die to defend it. From the bottom of my heart thank you for your service.

I have been so fortunate to never have personally experienced war. As I watch the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine, I have a sense of the horrors you experienced and am so grateful for the sacrifices you made so that I can live in a free and peaceful country. Thank you.

Thank you for all your sacrifices to keep us safe.

Thank you for your sacrifices, too many to count. The sacrificing didn't end with the end of serving, as I know it is impossible to "unsee" what you saw while serving. Saying thank you for the freedom you have provided seems rather hollow, but I say it with sincerity.

This Remembrance Day, I would like to thank all the Living / Deceased Veterans for keeping Canada strong and free ! God Bless you and your families.

Many thanks for your sacrifice and for your service. You have made Canada and the world a better place.

I am sure many people do not realize the very valuable sacrifices that all veterans have made to protect our democratic system and our freedoms. My grandfather was a veteran of WW1 and Canada's Armed Forces made huge sacrifices at that time. As they have ever since. Thank you.

Good Morning to ALL of Canada's VETERANS, I THANK ALL THE VETERANS for all you did to keep Canada Strong and Free. You are always in our prayers. We cannot THANK you enough for all you sacrificed unselfishly for us. Love You All!

We shall always remember the sacrifices you made, the courage and bravery you showed to keep our country strong and free; there are no words to describe our deep feelings of love and caring for our veterans during this season of Remembrance. May God bless you all.

Thank you fir all you have done and continue to do It is and will always be appreciated

Both of our parents served. Kathy's father made a career of the Royal Air Force after joining up during WWII. My father also served during the war. So we have an idea of what the Vets have done for us all.

Thank you for our veterans, our heroes, who made so much sacrifices so that Canada is a better place to live and to have peace on Earth.

Thank you for your dedication and service. Without people like you we would not have the freedoms we enjoy have and the wonderful country of Canada as we know it. Thanks again.

The words "thank you" hardly seems enough for all you did for our country and the world. I was born at the end of the war so never knew what it was like to grow up with war being fought but I have known many veterans who paid a high price for my/our freedom. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

So thankful to each of you for the sacrifices you made for our country and all of us who depended on you, sometimes without even being sufficiently aware of the true weight of those sacrifices. Bless you.

Thank you Father for being in the Canadian Navy!!!

Thank you for fighting for our freedom. You are true heros.

Thanks to all of the Veterans for their bravry and sacrifices given to keep our country strong

Good day. This is the time of year that the entire country of Canada says thank you to you all. I want you to know how much we appreciate you and how we say actually thank you every day of the year. You’ve done so much for us all. We can only repay you with love and respect.

I was born 1948, too late to experience your horror firsthand, but close enough to understand. You weren't just soldiers defined by bravery, selflessness. You were real people who left families and your own lives behind. They too were immense sacrifices never to be lost on us.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating freedom that brought my parents from the Ukraine so I could grow up and have my child grow up in a country as great as Canada. Your act of bravery is far reaching.

There are no words that can express the Gratitude that I have as a Canadian for the sacrifices that you made to give us our freedom and the great country that we live in today!

Thank you so much for all that you did and continue to represent. We would not have all of our tomorrows without your yesterdays

Your sacrifices will not be forgotten. All I can say is Thank You from myself, my family and children. We are all grateful. I am also proud my grandpa was amongst you, but I am aware the rest of our family has not had to make the same sacrifices in part because of your service.

Now over 150 years of freedoms that were given to us by these brave people that loved their country and fellow men enough to give their lives to fight for what they believed in... OUR FREEDOMS and rights to live in a country that allows freedom of association without fear to die.

You put yourself at a risk far beyond what I have ever taken or may have been willing to take to protect my rights and freedoms. May your efforts flourish as the seeds that become mighty trees.

To the veterans! There is peace now because you sacrificed selflessly. You put your foot a head for us and to us we take you as our heroes. We cerebrate you, we cherish you. You are true legends and we are always inspired by the memories! We always pray for you.

To say "Thank You" hardly seems enough. So I will say a Big "THANK YOU " . Words do not express my admiration for all of you who stood when needed. My grandfather was one of those who fell at Paschendaele in Nov. 1917, forever Missing In Action as his body was never recovered.

We will never forget and will always be thankful for your selfless service. Because of you, we are proud Canadians.

Thank you for your service to our country and all the freedoms you have help us keep!!!

I grew up listening to my Dad's stories from WWII. I have never forgotten the toll it took on his health. At the same time. I am so proud of his brave contribution . Thanks to him and thanks to all of you.

Thank you for the sacrifices you made for our country. You are a brave, courageous and amazing person.

You have our thanks - hopefully there were memorable times. My brother and cousin didn’t make it through WW2 and my “Cold War” service fortunately stayed “cold”.

Thank you seems so inadequate a wphrase for the sacrifice that you gave. I will always honour your heroic actions.

Thank you for all you have done, for all you do today and for all you will do in future. You are heroes.

I want to thank you for all you’ve done to keep Canada free and one of the best countries to live in. If it wasn’t for you and veterans like you the rest of us could not enjoy our carefree lives. Thanks♥️

My dear Veteran/s, What a joy to have you read my message of thanks for Remembrance Day. I've seen many movies depicting war and I know you were tested daily. In the name of our country and for its future - that I'm a part of, you faced an enemy. Thank you with all my heart.

Thank you for your service. You are all heros.

Thank you for putting the service of Canada first when the war broke out. You are brave, dedicated, and very much loved and admired.

Our brave Veterans, your service made it possible for all of us to be the country we are today. As an Air Force veteran myself, I know very well what it means to be a selfless, dedicated human being to protect our people, our country, our freedoms, and the democracy we all enjoy.

Thank you for your service. I would not be walking around free today without your sacrifices and your bravery.

You have given us all the opportunity to live in a wonderful and free country. Your sacrifice can not be measured. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU

Never having experienced active participation jn a war personally, even though I took my parents' accounts of WW II hardships and horrors seriously, I cannot fully imagine what morał, physical and psychological strength active participants in war had to summom. Bravo, veterans!

You have given us all the opportunity to live in a wonderful and free country. Your sacrifice can not be measured. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU

Thanks for all you did and many who even sacrificed their lives, May God bless you all.

Thank you for your service. We will never forget!

Dear Veterans, To say thank you does not do justice to the sacrifices you’ve made for our country. I am at a loss for words that convey the powerful feelings of gratitude that I feel. Canada is strong and free thanks to your protection and I honour your bravery. Thank you.

Thank you for your service. We will never forget!

Thank you for making a better world for us.

Thank you very much for all you have done for our beautiful, peaceful and free country. Without your dedicaton of service and courage we would not be the country we are today. Please know that you are not only honoured one day, but everyday. God Bless.

Thank you, thank you for your courage, tenacity and dedication to serve your country and ensure that we are able to live in a free country.

I am so grateful for the bravery and courage that allowed you to sacrifice so much on our behalf. This unselfish act will not be gotten.

It is to easy to forget. Being close to veterans makes it easy to remember what they went through for us. To many of them came home from the war with a burden on their shoulders that they found hard to deal with. It is up to all of us to let them know that we appreciate them.

Thank you for your bravery

Thank you for your brave service and sacrifice to make our world a safer place. I will never forgot what my parents generation went through at such great cost in WW2. You are all so special, and future generations should be grateful all year long, not just on Remembrance Day.

Thank you for risking your lives to keep us safe and our country free of any enemy. We owe all servicemen a great deal.

Veterans Day is a good time to remember that our freedom isn’t guaranteed. It’s protected by the men and women in our Armed Services. To those who secure our way of life… thank you!

My Dad was in the air force but did not go overseas.I want to thank each & every one of year for putting yourselves out there to protect our Canada .I live in Tay township & you would be pleased to hear that our Legion have posted pictures of veterans from our township .God bless

Your efforts and sacrifices mean millions of people have lived in freedom, able to enjoy and pass to their children a good quality of life. As the daughter of a WWII RCAF veteran, I thank you and will never forget your courage and commitment.

We are truly blessed that we live in a safe and wonder country Canada with all the men and woman that served to keep us safe. Many thanks to you all. God Bless

Thank you for putting your lives on the line so that we could remain free of tyranny. May your sacrifices never be in vain!

Always greatful

Thank you for your extreme bravery that has allowed me to live my life freely - in the best country in the world - all because of you.

Thank You does not seem enough to say for your sacrifice to keep Canada strong and free. It takes great character to choose to support and fight for your country. There can never be enough rewards to thank you, nor enough prayers or blessings to be said for you. God Bless!

Dear Veterans, We are all so grateful for the sacrifices you have made for Canada, your fellow Canadians, and for freedom and peace around the world. Thank you.

I lost my dad this past June three days before Father's Day. He served in World War Ii and was my hero. Lest we forget. All of us are indebted to each of your for your bravery and patronage to our country. Thank you so very much.

To the men and women at Sunnybrook, I too have served in our forces (RCN) and so I salute you for all the times you and your buddies went out into harms way so we can live in a free country.

Thank you for keeping our country safe. May you enjoy all the benefits that the Veterans Centre at Sunnybrook has to offer.

I am so grateful to you and for you, our nation's veterans. Thank you for the courage and hope you continue to give us. Thank you for fighting the toughest battles and the fiercest enemies; I honour you not only today but everyday, for your courage and love for our country.

Oz and I sure appreciated our Uncle Murray's contribution in WW2 - he spent his final years at K wing being looked after by excellent the staff.

To the wonderful men and women who serve and have served in the past, please except my sincere gratitude. Without your selfless sacrifices we would not have this incredible free country we live in. Peace and love to all Keith deRoux

Words cannot express my gratitude and respect to all of you for your bravery and for the ultimate sacrifices you made in order to protect our freedoms. I have always taught my son's the importance of recognizing this very important day. Thank you

As a child of Holocaust survivors, I cannot speak/write enough words of gratitude to what your efforts during WWII meant in fighting and defeating fascism and allowing my parents the chance to begin anew in this wonderful Canada.

I want to say,I may never know you but I want to say thank you so much for the freedom my family has today.

I am so favored living here I Canada, born in 1948 I have had the good fortune to age through one of the first generations of citizens who have not had to go to war. I and my family are forever grateful to all of the veterans that served to protect our freedom. Thank you so much.

Dear Veterans, I am a 63-year-old woman who has led a peaceful life in Canada since I was born. I have never lost sight of the fact that if it weren't for our men and women in the armed forces, my life would be very different. I am forever grateful for your service.

Thank you for your service and dedication to making our lives what they are today.You have sacrificed everything for us and we are eternally grateful. Ken

The sacrifice you have made by putting your lives on the line to keep Canada safe is very highly appreciated. There no words to express our gratitude. God bless you & your families as well who have also made equivalent sacrifices to let you go.You all will be blessed abundantly.

I’m so grateful for what you have done, what you have given, and what you have sacrificed-for me and mine. My late uncle came to Sunnybrook to complete his training as a physician after the war and I have enormous respect for the institution too.

Thank you for your bravery. You are the true heroes and ALL CANADIANS are and will always be indebted to you for your selfless service. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! Valued Extraordinary Treasured Exceptional Remarkable Acclaimed Noble Selfless

Thank you for all of your efforts & sacrifices that have helped Canada be such a great home for all of us!

I wish you hope for the future, and the courage to face your obstacles. I'm originally from England. My grandfather died in WWI. My father served in WWII. He wanted to be a pilot, but he was colour-blind so he trained as a radar technician. Thank you for fighting for freedom.

We are so grateful for your service to our country! Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for what you have done for our country.

Although you have passed, dad, this day of recognition for your service in the navy is not forgotten. Blessings to the brave men and women who fought for the freedom of our country and democracy.

I hate to think of what Canada would be like without all the brave men and women who gave so much of their lives...l thank you very much...wouldn't it be nice if peace ruled the world...to this day its sad to see what goes on...

My family came from a country rife with political unrest. The peace that veterans have given us in Canada and in other countries around the world is so amazing. Thank you for making the world a better place for me and my children. Your work will always be remembered.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to all Canadian Veterans. I and all Canadians owe our freedom today to the service you gave and sacrifices you made for this country. Thank you and God bless you.

Our Resident Veterans

Morris Adams

Canadian Army

Morris Adams was born in 1926 and grew up playing stick and puck with his friends in the Spadina and Dundas neighbourhood of Toronto. Like many in his neighbourhood, both of his parents were new immigrants, his father from Ukraine and his mother from Austria. Morris grew up during the Great Depression, and fortunately his father’s work as a barber and mother’s role at a garment factory helped them through the tough times.

When the Second World War began, Morris was just starting high school at Harbord Collegiate, so joining the army was not in his sights. Being too young to take part in the war effort, Morris and his friends were unaware of the events taking place overseas. He would continue to finish high school until he was conscripted in April 1945. Shortly after reporting to Camp Borden in northern Ontario for training, the war had ended.

During both world wars, there was a stigma surrounding one’s choice to volunteer for service. Morris described the feeling as “almost shameful to choose not volunteer,” by the end of the war, this stigma was gone. Service in the pacific was on a volunteer-basis and Morris made the decision to stay at home in Canada.

Even though he chose to stay home, Morris continued with the army to help with the administrative work that came with the end of the war. Without the help of computers like we have today, Morris had a mountain of documents and paperwork that needed to be filed.

Remembrance Day reminds Morris of how lucky he is. Many young men his age lost their lives and would not have the chance to experience the many joys that come with growing up and adulthood.

Philip Daniel

Canadian Army

Born in 1925, Philip Daniel grew up on a farm in Toronto with his siblings and parents, who were both part of the war effort during the Great War. Philip’s father served in WWI and was once badly gassed and had to return home. His mother, who was originally from England, was in the Royal Flying Corps until she moved to Canada after the end of WWI. Under a program that allowed early entry to the military, Philip joined the army at age 17 and later joined the regular forces after turning 18.

After training as part of the First Hussars of the Tank Corp at Camp Borden in northern Ontario, Philip made his way to Halifax where he then took the Mauretania, a British ocean liner, to Liverpool, England in 1943. While stationed in Aldershot, he had time to visit London and local pubs in between training. He even met Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) while she was serving with the Auxiliary Territorial Services, the women’s branch of the British Army.

Philip would soon make his way across the English Channel during the summer of 1944 after D-Day. The Canadian Army saw some battles as they moved through Belgium and into Holland before ending in northern Germany. Philip remained in Germany several weeks after the end of the war when he visited Bergen-Belsen and saw the devastating aftermath of the concentration camps and listened to tragic stories from survivors.

In hopes of returning home to Canada sooner for training, Philip volunteered to serve in the war in Japan. He continued to serve with the Canadian Army for 34 years. Philip was wounded while serving in the Korean War and again in Egypt after a land mine went off, but that did not stop him from continuing to represent Canadian military efforts. He also served on a peacekeeping mission in the Sinai in Israel.

After his time in the Army, Philip settled in the GTA with his wife and three children, and began working for the school board in Bowmanville. Every Remembrance Day, Philip reflects on the people and friends that he met during his time in the Army that were left behind.

Stan Dinney

Royal Canadian Air Force

Stan Dinney was born in 1922 in New Brunswick and moved to Windsor, Ontario with his family as a baby. Shortly after, during the Great Depression, Stan moved back to New Brunswick after his father got a job at his family’s lumber mill. Stan’s father was a part of the army in 1914 and went oversees to many countries, including Türkiye.

Stan was an athletic child and teen, and particularly enjoyed playing baseball. Despite his dreams of moving to the United States to play baseball, Stan made the decision to join the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941 like many of his friends and young men in his neighbourhood. At the same time Stan joined the RCAF, his younger brother joined the Royal Canadian Navy.

After finishing his armourer’s course as part of his training, Stan went to Calgary where he volunteered to take a fellow soldier’s places oversees. In the winter of 1942, Stan was sent to England on the Orion troopship, where he spent a lot of time in the Crow’s Nest on the lookout for U-boats. His journey across the Atlantic in the winter was rough and many of his crewmates got seasick.

Upon his arrival to England Stan was sent to Drem, a military base just outside Edinburgh, where he worked with Beaufighters, a plane that consisted of one pilot and a gunner. Stan later switched over to a Mosquito aircraft, which he enjoyed flying much more. After his time in Europe, Stan was deployed to South Asia in 1943 and visited places like Bombay and Sri Lanka. During this time, his squadron was unaware of the events taking place throughout Europe and the Pacific.

In April 1945, Stan returned home to New Brunswick where he was stationed at a repair depot. There he would strip the guns from Lancaster bomber planes. Stan was discharged from the RCAF in Halifax on VJ Day.

Stan is one of the many Veterans featured in The Last Salute - Portraits of Remembrance. Courage. Wisdom. Sacrifice. Joy. This book was commissioned to mark the 75th anniversary of Sunnybrook’s Bayview campus, which first opened as Sunnybrook Military Hospital in 1948. It features 40 of Sunnybrook’s Centenarian Veterans, powerful portraits photographed by Yuri Dojc, and stories and interviews by journalist, Alannah Campbell.

Clayton (Clay) Hayes

Canadian Army

In the fall of 1944, 17 year old Clayton (Clay) Hayes hopped a freight train headed to the West Coast of British Columbia from his home in Brandon, Manitoba and enlisted in the Canadian Merchant Navy. His brother was already serving with the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). His father had served with the Merchant Navy (United Kingdom) during World War I (WWI). Stationed in Vancouver, Clay was assigned to the Goldstream Park merchant ship. Merchant ships carried vital cargo to the people affected by the war (food / clothing) as well as much needed military supplies (aircraft, tanks, guns and munitions) and whatever else was required for the war effort.

The Goldstream traveled down the Pacific coast, through the Panama Canal to New York Harbor where it would become part of a convoy of 80–90 ships gathering from across the United States and Canada before heading across the Atlantic to England. Because of its vital cargo, the convoy was a prime target for enemy surface raiders and U-boats. Part of Clay’s job as an Able Bodied Seaman was either to man the crow’s nest, on watch for enemy subs and aircraft, or to be at the wheel steering the ship.

Clay recalls that on one trip leaving from Vancouver, they were hit by a severe storm off the coast of California. All hands were on deck, trying to save the lumber secured to the deck with chains. The storm was so bad, they lost all the lumber and a number of crewmen (including a friend of his) were badly injured. The injured were taken to a hospital in San Pedro, California before the Goldstream renewed its trip.

One of the scariest moments came while unloading their cargo at the Surrey Commercial Docks in southeast London. The fleet got hit numerous times by unmanned German planes launched from German occupied France. Although the bombs landed close by, their ship was not hit. Others were and lives were lost. After the war ended in 1945, Clay stayed on for another two to three years to help with the post war rebuilding efforts.

Upon his return home, Clay married Margaret Doyle and together they raised four children (three daughters and a son). Over the course of his working life, Clay owned and operated several small businesses in the Toronto area including one that manufactured menu covers and another that sold industrial latex to art supply stores across Canada and the United States. He retired at the age of 85. Margaret passed away in 2010 at age 82.

When asked about his war experience, Clay is positive. “I’d do it again for sure,” he said. “The whole war experience was very good. I’m very proud of the role that the Merchant Navy played in providing desperately needed equipment, fuel, food and personnel to Europe and around the world.”

Tom Instance

Royal Canadian Navy

Tom Instance was born in Toronto in 1924. At the young age of 14, Tom left school so that he could help his family provide for his four siblings during the tough times of the Great Depression. While his father was driving for the TTC, Tom worked delivering newspapers, groceries, and doing whatever he could to help out. He even helped at a shipyard where he caught rivets that were used to build equipment for the war.

When he became of age, Tom enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy. He was inspired by his father who had served in the Royal Navy in England before moving to Canada. After he completed his training, he was assigned to the HMCS Uganda, a light cruiser in the Royal Navy which was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in the later years of WWII. On board the Uganda, Tom worked in the engine room and ensured that those working there were safe and did not get too hot.

Tom has fond memories of spending time on the Uganda. He spent lots of time on the mess deck with his crewmates, and sleeping in hammocks under the torpedoes!

During his time during the war, Tom went overseas a small number of times. He mainly worked in navy yards along the American coast, travelling back and forth from Canada bringing important equipment parts. He also once travelled through the Suez Canal to Egypt. During his service, Tom witnessed some battle as planes would fly and shoot overhead the ship.

At the end of the war, Tom was discharged in Vancouver and he then returned home to his wife and child.

Sang Woong Lee

South Korean Army

Born in 1930, Sang Woong Lee spent most of his life in South Korea raising a family of six, and immigrated to Canada later into his adult life.

He spent many years with the Korean Army, and was deployed for service in the Korean War. He fought in the notable Battle of Incheon. He was specifically involved with the Incheon Landing, also known as Operation Chromite. He was also one of the members of the Army Unit that planted the South Korean flag at the centre of Seoul’s government building after two weeks of fighting. Thus, reclaiming the city and signifying its return to the government on September 29th, 1950. What a momentous moment to be a part of at the young age of 20.

After the war he then carried on in his career as military police. He also spent time in Vietnam and Saudi Arabia fulfilling various other roles. Now at the age of 91 (as of 2021) he resides at the Veterans Centre at Sunnybrook.

Richard Ratcliffe

Royal Canadian Navy

When Richard Ratcliffe left his home in St. Catherines, Ontario to enlist at age 17, he was on a quest for adventure, eventually travelling far from the Royal Canadian Naval College in British Columbia to the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Western Pacific, as well as seeing active service during the Korean War.

As a member of the Royal Canadian Navy, Richard participated in daring missions around the world, buoyed by a sense of pride in being able to defend the interests of the United Nations and NATO over the course of a successful military career that spanned roughly 25 years.

He rose through the ranks, serving aboard 12 ships and ultimately as Commander of the famed destroyer the HMCS Qu’Appelle, with a crew of 230. During the Korean conflict from 1950 to 1952, he helped provide anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defence, which included escorting an aircraft carrier flying strikes into North Korea.

Following active duty, Richard served another five years with the Royal Canadian Navy Reserve. Subsequently, he worked for the Maritime Council of Premiers in the Nova Scotia government, and as head of the residence at St. Mary’s University. In 1981, he and Mary Patricia, his wife of almost 50 years, established Cumberland County Knitters, a cottage industry that manufactured hand-knit sweaters and fashion accessories.

While Richard’s naval career was filled with drama, one of the highlights of his life took place in 2017 when he soared over Niagara Falls by helicopter with his grandson Joe as part of the Sunnybrook Veterans Grant a Wish, a program made possible by donor support. Viewing Niagara Falls from the air had been a life-long dream of his. "As children, the Falls were always an attraction for us. The ride lasted just 12 minutes, but for me, it was the trip of a lifetime."

His "can do" attitude and leadership abilities still characterize Richard at age 92 (as of 2020). As a resident in Sunnybrook’s Veterans Centre, he’s enjoying sharing stories and memories with his fellow Veterans, but he lives very much in the present. In 2017, he was elected president of the Veteran and Community Residents’ Council. What’s more, that year he was also featured on the Toronto Star front page as one of three Veteran bearers of the Invictus flag.

Richard's adventure continues, this time in service of his fellow Veterans with whom he shares his youthful spirit and love of life. "The war was exciting, but right now is just as exciting," he exclaims. He is visibly moved when expressing his gratitude to Sunnybrook Veterans Centre for the outstanding care he has received. In 2017, Richard said "We’re 475 of the most privileged people in Canada. We’re treated like royalty every day."

Oswald Reece

Canadian Army

Born in Guyana in 1951, Oswald “Ozzie” Reece immigrated to Canada when he was just 13 years old. His grandfather fought with the British Army in both WWI and WWII, and his father, uncle and brothers all served. As a result of his military family influence, Ozzie joined the Canadian Forces as part of the 48th Highlanders of Canada when he was 21. Ozzie once said “I was an infantry man and for me that was bang-on because I was like Top Gun, I was a marksman.”

Based out of Toronto, the 48th Highlanders of Canada is a Canadian Forces Primary Reserve infantry regiment. This regiment plays an important role in the City of Toronto, participating in many community events and functions. In 1998, this regiment provided a full royal guard for Queen Elizabeth II.

Ozzie was a part of the 48th Highlanders for 34 years. As a Sergeant, he served in countries all around the world. He was deployed to Israel, Egypt, Golan Heights, Cyprus and more on peacekeeping missions for the United Nations. He also trained in places across Europe, including Germany, as part of NATO. Ozzie was promoted to Regimental Quartermaster after returning to Canada, where he served as an instructor at Moss Park Armoury for 25 years.

Today the Canadian Forces are made up of individuals of all different races, backgrounds and genders, but when Ozzie served, he noted the lack of diversity. As one of the few soldiers of colour at the time, he made sure he stood up for respect.

Marion Sawers (nee Ritchie)

Canadian Women's Army Corps

Born and raised in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia, Marion had been teaching in Nova Scotia from 1937-1944 after graduation from Normal College. In 1944, however, Marion decided to sign up with the Canadian Women’s Army Corps. She had hoped that she would be assigned overseas, somewhere like London, England. Along with 45 other CWACs, Marion attended basic training at Camp Borden, Ontario.

Since Marion had previously been a teacher, the army made use of her teaching skills giving her the job of instructing CWACs as clerks and clerk stenographers, as well as classes in Canadian Military Law, etc., in Ottawa.

At the cessation of hostilities, Marion was appointed to the Medical Headquarters where she was employed as a statistician on war injuries under Colonel Crawford. She particularly worked on statistics on Canadian prisoners of war with the Japanese, one of whom had been Colonel Crawford himself. A very memorable event from this work was a gathering together of the Japanese prisoners of war who were on their way to Tokyo to partake in the Japanese war crimes trials. Marion and others met them all as a group at the CWAC Sergeant’s Mess. This can best be described as a happy event as these men were survivors, but it was also the most traumatic event that Marion ever attended, knowing these men’s stories.

Marion was demobilized from the military after her time at the Medical Headquarters. Shortly thereafter, she married John Sawers who was in the Canadian Intelligence Corps at the time. John and Marion had 65 years of marriage, lived in four Canadian cities but resided mostly in Ottawa, where they raised their two daughters. They retired to their home in the country near Portland, Ontario, and also enjoyed their time travelling to many countries over the years. John was admitted to Sunnybrook Veterans Centre in the last months of his life, passing away in 2012, and a year later, Marion came to live at Sunnybrook. She still enjoys activities such as Art Therapy and cooking classes, but Marion’s favourite place is out in the lovely garden area at Sunnybrook. Marion is 104 as of September, 2021.

Jean Vanwart

Canadian Women's Army Corps

Jean joined the Canadian Women's Army Corps (CWAC) in 1943, in Ottawa and didn’t tell her parents because she was afraid they would disapprove. It turns out, when her Dad found out, he was so proud of her that he had her picture put in the local paper in Huntington, Quebec.

“Basic training was where I learned discipline - to march seven or ten miles, to have our army cot stripped, bedding rolled, shoes and buttons shined and to be on parade at 7a.m sharp. I also learned how to assemble and wear gas masks and how to shoot 303 rifles,” says Jean.

After a couple of days' leave to say goodbye to family and friends, she boarded a troop train to Halifax harbour. There were 70 CWAC and thousands of soldiers. They marched up the gang plank and into the beautiful luxury liner – the Aquitania, stripped of all her luxuries.

She carried all of our own equipment – a huge kit bag, a haversack, a regulation purse, and orders as to who we were and what unit we were with. Once on board she realized there was no turning back. They were on our way to the greatest adventure of their lives!

All CWAC personnel were kept in a group with escorts and guards. They were billeted in a huge state room lined with army cots. Because the portholes were covered, they enjoyed the luxury of air-conditioning. The bathroom had showers but the water was sea water and we couldn't get any lather from the soap. Such was army life!

The troop ships travelled in convoy. She’ll never forget the night they had orders to remain in full uniform and to wear our life jackets. “The ship engines were turned off and no one was allowed to make a sound. The silence was deafening. All lights were extinguished. We were terrified,” remembered Jean. “There was an enemy submarine in the vicinity and if it located our convoy, we would be torpedoed and sunk. Many prayers were silently said. Toward dawn, the engines began to hum. The enemy was gone and we continued on our way.”

After seven days at sea, they arrived at Grenock, Scotland and from there travelled by train to Aldershot, England, the oldest army base in history. After a few weeks Jean was allocated to her permanent base which was in in Farnborough, 30 miles south of London.

Planes roared overhead – Spitfires high in the sky and Lancasters flying in formation below them like our migrating geese. Broken formations when the planes were returning from their missions meant some had been lost in action or taken as prisoners of war.

Jean was sent overseas as a Clerk Typist and was placed in the medical surveys unit. Across the street was the transport headquarters where the staff and duty cars travelled all over England. Realizing that she was missing a great opportunity to see the country, she transferred to the driving unit. Driving on the opposite side of the road in blackouts and fog was hazardous but exciting.

Returning to the depot after a back injury, Jean noticed a new driver to the unit – Elgin Vanwart. It was love at first sight. “Little did I know, we would be married for 71 years!!”

“It took a lot of courage to stick it out over there and we couldn't let our emotions get the better of us,” says Jean. “We eventually became accustomed to the steady vibrations of the planes, day and night. One night, we were at a lecture and a bomber came directly over our building. We were paralyzed with fear. Lucky for us, the bomb landed in a field behind us. There were no casualties.”

“During my three years in England, I saw the devastation that war can cause,” Jean shared. “There were rolls of barbed wire everywhere; London was literally full of holes from the continuous bombing. There were miles of cots set up in the subways for those who had lost their homes. The English were very brave and I feel fortunate that I had the opportunity to spend time with them.”

After the war, officers arranged it so that Elgin and Jean could come home on the same ship. After they were married in 1946, they started a family – Marion, Sandra and Bill, all of whom have lived rich and interesting lives.

“The heartbeat of the army will always be with us – a part of us. We lived for today because tomorrow was an unwritten script – a dot on the edge of eternity. We were lucky – for all those young men and women who never made it home, our hearts still bleed, but if we could do it all again – we would.”

Both Jean and Elgin have called the Veterans Centre home. Elgin sadly passed away in 2017. Jean is now 102 year of age, as of 2021.

About Operation raise a flag

Sunnybrook officially opened our doors 75 years ago in 1948 as a war Veterans' hospital; a place to care for heroes.

Today, as the largest Veterans care facility in the country, in partnership with Veterans Affairs Canada, we are honoured to provide the best cognitive, physical, mental health and stroke care to over 200 Canadian Veterans of the Second World War, Korean War and the Cold War.

What is the Raise a Flag campaign?

As the largest Veterans’ care facility in Canada, we offer long term and complex hospital care for Veterans.

In honour of this Remembrance Day, Operation Raise a Flag will help raise funds in support of the Veterans program at Sunnybrook.

Please consider making a donation in honour of our Veterans. With your support, 30,000 flags will be planted around the Sunnybrook campus for Remembrance Day as a symbol of honour and appreciation. In addition, we will continue to honour the contributions made by First Nations, Inuit and Métis Veterans in service to Canada by including artwork designed by Indigenous artist, Philip Cote.

Where does my money go?

It is the mission of the Veterans Centre to assist each and every resident to achieve their best possible life experience while they are at Sunnybrook. Your gift will help Sunnybrook Veterans Centre provide the very best cognitive, physical, mental health and stroke care to over 200 Canadian Veterans. We believe our brave Veterans deserve nothing less.

This year, your generous contribution will help provide new state of the art gym and library facilities at the Veterans Centre as Sunnybrook continually strives to deliver exceptional care.

This year, we are pleased to invite back volunteers from our community, Sunnybrook staff, and a group from the Canadian military to plant the flags to ensure the Veterans are honoured for their service.

What is the meaning behind the Indigenous artwork?

The artwork was created by Philip Cote, an Indigenous artist, activist, educator, historian, cultural advisor and Ancestral Knowledge Keeper from Moose Deer Point First Nation. Citing all of his ancestry, he is Shawnee, Lakota, Potawatomi, Ojibway, Algonquin and Mohawk.

Philip created this drawing to commemorate the long tradition of service and sacrifices in war of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit people of Canada. Each element of the flag is rich in symbolism. The buffalo represents Indigenous ancestors and another nation, indicating we are in a circle connected together on the same level. The medicine wheel is divided into four colours, where the buffalo sits in the west, the turtle in the east, the eagle in the south and the bear in the north. The east is where the sun rises, so that represents the beginning of life.

The magnificent crimson colours of the poppies are also significant as they symbolize sacred fire, a common aspect of Remembrance Day ceremonies. During these ceremonies, people are invited to say a few words for their ancestors, the ones that fought in war. An offering is made along with offering thanks for their deeds.
