David Tilson, Member of Parliament for Dufferin-Caledon advised the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #233 (Colonel Fitzgerald) Orangeville President Chris Skalozub that their funding application to replace the Forest Lawn Cemetery Cairn has been approved. Veteran Affairs Canada will fund $10, 368 (50%) of the $20, 737 total cost.
“This is good news indeed,” said Tilson, “I am grateful that Veteran Affairs Canada is committed to honouring those who served Canada in times of war as well as keeping the memory of their achievements and sacrifices alive for all Canadians. I also would like to thank the Legion members of Branch #223 for the outstanding job they do in caring for the many monuments in the Orangeville area. Well done President Skalozub and all fellow members”
“We would like to express our thanks to Member of Parliament, David Tilson, with his assistance in Veterans Affairs,” said Orangeville Legion President, Chris Skalozub, “we would also like to thank the Town of Orangeville for their donation, small businesses, The Banner and residents of Orangeville and surrounding area. We would also like to give a special thanks to our veterans and Comrades who also donated.”
The dedication service is planned to be held Sunday, October 26, 2014 at the Forest Lawn Cemetery. All are welcome to the service. Rain or Shine.
