I’m so thrilled we can wear beaded poppies now for Remembrance Day! This piece of art is made by a talented Indigenous CAF member.

We are staying at a friends house and they have this cool chart of sunken ships from 1939-1945. In 2009 I was sailing on HMCS SHAWINIGAN doing side scan sonar looking for the shipwreck of the original who was sunk by a U-boat in WWII. I got my BWK near Port-aux-Basques, NFLD!
