HMCS ST BONIFACE 1994 Reunion
Madam Deputy Speaker, as the representative for the provincial constituency of St. Boniface, it is for me a singular honour to speak on the resolution that is before this House. In particular, I would like to make special mention to the veterans who will be celebrating this evening at the St. Boniface City Hall the 50th anniversary ship's reunion of the HMCS St. Boniface. Their valour and bravery brought glory not only to the country under whose flag they fought, but also to the city their ship's name so proudly bore. St. Boniface is a community rich in 175 years of history of western Canada. Their vessel and its crew stand as proud memorials to this history. (Excerpt from the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, Thursday, June 2, 1994)
