LEST WE FORGET 1 As our Sovereign’s representative in Saskatchewan, I am pleased to extend greetings on behalf of His Majesty King Charles III, King of Canada to the Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command and everyone who has supported the 2024 Military Service Recognition Book. It is my privilege to act as the Honorary Patron of the Saskatchewan Command and I am proud to be connected to an organization that serves veterans and their families. I offer my heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed to this special publication. I am especially grateful to those of you who have helped to research and share images and stories so that members of the military from our province might be recognized within in this book. It is a wonderful gift to have loved ones celebrated in such a manner. Families, friends and each one of us can be proud of these brave Canadians who have played a vital role in defending the peace, freedom and democracy that we enjoy. I extend my deep gratitude to all veterans for their service. Thank you to the members of the Royal Canadian Legion for your many worthy initiatives to assist and advocate for our veterans. Best wishes and continued success to the Saskatchewan Command. Russ Mirasty Lieutenant Governor Province of Saskatchewan
Military Service Recognition Book Volume XVII 2 Lest We Forget
LEST WE FORGET 3 On behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, it is a distinct honour to provide greetings for the 18th Annual Military Service Recognition Book. The people of Saskatchewan recognize the immense contributions of our Canadian Armed Forces to protect the freedoms we cherish as Canadians. Saskatchewan men and women from every corner of our province have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend the values and beliefs we all share. As a province and as a nation, we commend those in uniform, past and present, for their courage in defense of our communities, our province, and our country. All too often, we take for granted our Canadian values and institutions, the rights and freedoms that Canadians fought and died to defend. We continuously honour those who have sacrificed for our country, those who returned, those who lost their lives, and the families they left behind. By remembering their service, their courage and their sacrifice, we honour the legacy of peace and freedom these men and women fought so bravely to preserve. I would like to take this opportunity to applaud the tremendous efforts of the Saskatchewan Command of the Royal Canadian Legion in our province. The valuable contributions and tireless work of Legion members in our communities provide a wealth of support for Veterans and their families. In addition, this commemorative book is an important historical resource that allows us to learn more about military history and the immense contributions of our Veterans. Thank you to all the courageous men and women who continue to risk their lives, so that all Canadians, and all future generations, can live in a land of freedom and peace. Scott Moe Premier

LEST WE FORGET 13 The Eagle Feather The placement of a feather within a Veteran’s story indicates their Indigenous culture. Many do not realize the contribution that Canada’s Indigenous peoples made to our country in times of conflict. In earlier days and even today, Indigenous peoples have not necessarily been treated as equals. Yet, many of them participated within the military to defend our country without hesitation, putting aside their differences. The Muskeg Lake Veterans story is a prime example of this. The Eagle represents strength, courage, freedom, and honesty. There is believed to be a special connection between the Eagle and the Creator. As the eagle flies higher, and sees better than any other bird, it brings perspective of all creation. “We are all walking the same direction, it is time we all walk the same path.” Philip Ledoux, Mistawasis First Nation, Canadian Army Veteran

LEST WE FORGET 15 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, Provincial Branches, members and communities around the Province to support Veterans, Remembrance and Community. “Remembering yesterday. Serving today. Adapting for tomorrow.” 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) located at the Sask Command’s head office in 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 provide essential items that can improve a Veteran’s quality of life such as 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. Our service is free of charge and available to all Veterans whether they are a Legion member or not. Here are the Programs that are currently available through Saskatchewan Command; Leave the Streets Behind – This is the Legion’s National homeless Veterans program. The program’s mission is to reach out to homeless Veterans and those at-risk of homelessness and provide them with immediate financial assistance and support. It also connects them with social and community services to establish a long-term solution to meet their needs. Sask Command works closely with Veterans Affairs Canada, shelters and community organizations to get Veterans off the street and into temporary and/or long-term accommodations. Through the Poppy Fund, housing support is provided through financial assistance for items such as first and last month’s rent, rental arrears and furnishings.

LEST WE FORGET 17 WHAT DOES THE LEGION DO? …continued 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. “Recovery is the process of gaining control over one’s life and the direction that one wants that life to go.” 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 visual pledge to honour Canada’s Veterans and remember those who 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 ‘never forget’. 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.
