A moment of your time.

Yesterday, we commemorated the 900 men from Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Counties who went to war one hundred years ago. Of the 900 who left, 700 were killed or wounded. Glengarry County, a rural farming area, lost 4% of its population. Canada, a country of some 8 million people, put over 600,000 men and women into uniform, 67,000 of whom never returned from the Front in Europe or Siberia. It was a big commitment for a small country and many of the small rural areas such as ours were changed forever. Lest we forget.
