A Memorial Has Been Rededicated.

 

 

A rededication ceremony was held in the Co-op store parking lot Friday for the Sapper’s Memorial.  Major Morley Naylor from the Squadron Historical Committee explained a Sapper is the lowest rank in the Canadian Military Engineers.  He said the origin came from the old days of castles and what not where people were sent in to dig and tunnel under walls, fortifications, destroying objects, making mobility difficult for the enemy while advancing yourself and that process is known as sapping and those who did it were often referred to as Sappers.

             

The memorial was placed in front of the Armories building in 1989 dedicated to the thousands who served in the 21 Field Engineers Squadron and units before them.  It remained there after the Squadron disbanded in 1995 until put in storage for the construction of the new Co-op and now has been rededicated in the store’s parking lot by Father Paul Bringleson who spoke on how it is a reminder of the importance of the sacrifices made by those who served in the armed forces.
