LEST WE FORGET 1 On behalf of the Membership, Executive Council and Staff of Saskatchewan Command I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who makes this book possible each and every year. It is only one of the many ways the Legion pays tribute to those who have served but it is still vital to what we do. The Legion stands for Veterans, Remembrance and Community. The Military Service Recognition Book brings all 3 of those pillars into light. Each year we receive many different submissions and the joy we get from reading the individual stories is met with great pride. We encourage everyone to submit photos and stories of the brave men and women who served or are currently serving our nation and our community. We accept any and all Veterans of the Military and RCMP and hope to continue to pay our respect through this book each year forward. If you know of any Veteran that needs support, please reach out to your local Legion Branch so we can help them. I would like to extend my deepest thanks to all Veterans for the sacrifices they made to promote a free and safe country. We Will Remember Them.

LEST WE FORGET 13 WHAT DOES THE LEGION DO? Veterans | Remembrance | Community The Royal Canadian Legion (RCL) defines a Veteran as any person who is serving or who has honorably served in the Canadian Armed Forces, the Commonwealth or its wartime allies, or as a Regular Member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), or as a Peace Officer in a Special Duty Area or on a Special Duty Operation, or who has served in the Merchant Navy or Ferry Command during wartime. The RCL serves Veterans and their families by providing support, referrals, representation, advocacy and financial assistance free of charge, Legion member or not. The RCL is made up of three essential pillars Veterans, Remembrance & Community Saskatchewan Command is the Saskatchewan division of the Royal Canadian Legion. The Saskatchewan Command head office is located in the city of Regina and works closely with its Executive Council, 165 Provincial Branches, members and communities around the Province to support Veterans, Remembrance and Community. $#"!"! " " " " ! Veterans Veterans are encouraged to reach out to their local Legion Branch for any kind of assistance or support that is needed. This can refer to something physical, medical, environmental, emotional, psychological and much more. Through the Branch, the Veteran will be put in contact with a Branch Service Officer. Any information shared with a Service Officer is and always will remain confidential. Veterans can also contact the Provincial Service Officers (PSO) " " !! " " Regina at 306-525-8739 or toll-free 1-866-471-8387. Service Officers conduct needs assessments based on each Veteran s individual situation. Next a plan is developed working with the Veteran to help him or her move forward in their life. This often includes a community and team effort of businesses, health professionals and other service organizations. A plan could include a Service Officer helping a Veteran fill out paperwork or make a claim through Veterans Affairs Canada, connecting a Veteran to health or mental health professionals, help with moving or finding housing, financial assistance with bills or groceries. They also help to provid" " " "! ! " " " " hearing aids or a wheelchair. A Service Officer can simply be a friend to talk with. Provincial Service Officers will liaise with Veterans Affairs Canada to assist Veterans in receiving benefits they are entitled to.

LEST WE FORGET 15 WHAT DOES THE LEGION DO? Wellness Program - This new program was designed to assist Veterans in their journey to wellness. While insurance plans and Veterans Affairs Canada can offer treatment benefits for psychiatric and physical conditions, rarely will they cover activities that are not of a medical nature such as a gym pass, yoga class or use of a sweat lodge. There is a never-ending list of wellness activities and initiatives that could be beneficial to someone based on their needs. The assistance provided in this program helps the Veteran by reducing their symptoms. Taking better care of wellness can help to result in reducing symptoms such as stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD. PAWS for Veterans PAWS for Veterans serves two main purposes; to raise funds to provide Service Dogs to Saskatchewan Veterans and raising public awareness and education about Service Dogs. Through this program the Legion sponsors trained service dogs and assists to pair them with qualifying Veterans and their families. As the use of service dogs expands into many medical areas, there is a growing need for the general public to understand the role of these highly specialized dogs with their handlers. Some types of specialized training can include; PTSD, seizure, mobility assistance, diabetic alert, hearing assistance, heart attack & stroke and much more. Mental Health First Aid Veteran Community This thirteen-hour Course focuses on the basics but is also tailored to the needs of Veterans and the people who care for, and about them. The program is designed to help members of the Veteran Community developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. It does not train people to become counsellors or therapists and just like with physical first aid, we need to ensure that those most in contact with members of the Veteran Community can identify an emerging mental health problem and respond effectively in the event of a crisis. Who should become certified in this course? Veterans, family members, relatives, friends, volunteers and other caring community members, former RCMP members, health professionals and providers of Veteran services OSI-CAN OSI-CAN is an Operational Stress Injury/Post-Traumatic Stress Support Initiative. Created in January 2016, as a partnership between the RCL Sask Command and the Canadian Mental Health Association Sask Division. This network of service supports includes such things as; referrals into Centres of Excellence, professional counseling, lifeskills training, addictions programs, equine-assisted therapy, service dogs, PTSD Coach Canada Mobile App, psychosocial rehabilitation, vocational training, pharmacist assistance, recreation programs, housing supports, family preservation services, veterinary support for service dogs, supportive websites such as Mood Disorders Canada, PTSD support, phone in support and much more. The network of supports continues to grow as individual needs are identified. Remembrance Poppy Campaign Every year, from the last Friday of October to November 11 th tens of millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a have sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today. While the Poppy is distributed freely to all who wish to wear one, the Legion gratefully accepts donations to the Poppy Fund. The Poppy Campaign is very much a local initiative, conducted by Legion Branches in cities, towns and communities across the country. Donations collected during the Poppy Campaign are held in Trust at the Branch level to directly support Veterans and their families within their community and to help ensure Canadians The RCL, since its inception in 1926, has become known for its annual organization of the November 11th Remembrance Day Services and Events. The Poppy Campaign also features a new Digital Poppy . The Digital Poppy can be found online at www.mypoppy.ca. Canadians who donate online will receive a Digital Poppy in Remembrance of a Veteran of their choosing. continued ...

LEST WE FORGET 17 WHAT DOES THE LEGION DO? Poster & Literary Contest For over 50 years, the RCL has sponsored annual Poster & Literary Contests that are open to all students in the Canadian School System. The students who participate in these contests continue to promote the tradition of Remembrance amongst Canadians. Contests start at the Branch level in October, with winning submissions moving up the Legion ladder. Eventually fourteen entries from Saskatchewan Students are submitted to The Legion Foundation in Ottawa for judging. The names and entries of the National winners are published in a booklet sent out by Dominion Command. First Place Winners are displayed in the Canadian War Museum from July 1st until May 1st of the following year. Second Place Winners and any honourable mentions are displayed in the foyer of the House of Commons during the annual Remembrance Day period. The Legion also sponsors a trip to Ottawa for the Senior Winners to attend the National Remembrance Day Service where they can place a wreath on behalf of the youth of Canada. During this time, students are given the opportunity to meet and visit with the Governor General. Teaching Guide The RCL has created the Teaching Guide to assist Primary and Secondary Schools with teaching students about the tradition of Remembrance and our Military History. The Guide is there to develop an understanding and appreciation for Remembrance Day and encourage youth to participate. The Guide includes concise notes on Canadian Military History, notes on the RCL, important Canadian symbols, stories, songs and poems containing a Remembrance theme, information about the Poppy Campaign and how the money donated is used, National Poster and Literary Contest information, as well as suggested School Remembrance activities. R.E.D. Shirt Friday Join us every Friday as we show support for our troops by wearing RED. T-Shirts and Hoodies are available to purchase through your local Branch or at the Saskatchewan Command head office. Sizes Small to 5X-Large are available. Remembering Everyone D The Military Service Recognition Book - All Veterans, families and branches are encouraged to submit pictures and short stories for inclusion in one of these commemorative books, free of charge. Please consider completing a form on your loved one and send it to our head office along with a picture of the person to be included. A Provincial telephone appeal also takes place on a yearly basis to request support for this project. Businesses will be asked to purchase advertising space and private citizens will be contacted as well to request support for this important initiative of the Sask Command. Proceeds raised will be used by the Legion to improve services to Veterans and the more than 200 communities that they serve throughout the Province.

LEST WE FORGET 23 The Cereal Seed Experts The Naming of New Seed Varieties Will Honour Veterans FP Genetics Inc. and The Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command, are pleased to announce a new collaboration that will seek to honour veterans and highlight the sacrifices they have made in service of community and country. “The legislation that applies to naming plant varieties operates on the principle of “One Variety – One Name”. This affords us a unique, timeless and global opportunity to recognize veterans for their contributions to Canada by naming new crop varieties in their honour. Symbolically, these variety namesake’s will further contribute to the global community through high quality food production, which Canadian farmers are known for” says Chris Churko, CEO of FP Genetics. As part of this collaboration, The Legion's Saskatchewan Command will accept and review applications from military and RCMP veterans and their families, and make recommendations to FP Genetics for variety names. As part of the submission, applicants will submit biographies and the stories they wish FP Genetics and Saskatchewan Command to share with the community. Once a variety bearing a veteran’s name is officially registered, the public will be able to access variety information via FP Genetics communications and follow links to the Legion’s website to learn more about the person behind the name, their contributions to community and country, and the great services the Royal Canadian Legion – Saskatchewan Command offers in support of veterans and first responders. The Royal Canadian Legion – Saskatchewan Command and FP Genetics are excited to release the name of the first veteran chosen in this collaboration, Harold Hague. The official variety name is AB Hague, which is a new high yielding feed barley bred by Dr. Pat Juskiw and team at the Field Crop Development Centre, Olds College.

Military Service Recognition Book Volume XV 26 Muskeg Lake’s History Muskeg Lake Cree Nation has a long and rich cultural history. First established in 1881, the core reserve is still home to approximately 367 community members (MLCN Health Records, June 2011). 1,481 additional members live across Saskatchewan and Canada, yet they are still proud to call Muskeg Lake their home and community. We Are Our History Our veterans have played a significant role in the ways we have developed as a community.When community members enlisted for WWI, WWII, the Korean conflict and Peace-time service, they came back changed— not only by war, but by having their eyes opened to the ways of the world outside the reserve. This shift in perspective has forever changed the way we see ourselves as a community. In the second half of the 20th century, two agreements—Asimakaniseekan Askiy in 1988 and the Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) Trust in 1992—led to the growth of Muskeg Lake. These agreements generated a need for the community to reach outward to surrounding governments and municipalities and bring us into a process of community consultation, something which had never before happened. The TLE Trust led to the acquisition of urban and agricultural lands, which fostered economic development for the community through land leasing and entrepreneurial growth. Today, we look back on a proud history that we owe in great part to our veterans and to the community leaders who have changed the way we see ourselves as a community and in the larger world.

The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to honour the sacrifice of these brave men and women through practical ways such as the Saskatchewan Veteran Service Club Support Program. The funding from this program will help keep Saskatchewan Legions operational and make the necessary improvements to continue serving our heroes. This program is delivered in collaboration with the Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command and the Army, Navy, and Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS), Saskatchewan Provincial Command. Registered, non-profit veteran service clubs based in Saskatchewan were eligible to apply for grants up to $25,000. These grants are being put to good use with members of veteran service organizations benefiting through facility projects, upgrades, renovations or repairs, access to programming, meetings, and events. The grant money could also be used toward special events, programs and activities that engage the public and advance the work of veteran service organizations. This increased commitment to Saskatchewan veterans and their family members will continue to strengthen the long-term sustainability of Saskatchewan’s service clubs who not only honour veterans on November 11th, but all year long.
