ON.When hostilities ended during World War One on November 11thin 1918, Iwasn\u2019t even an idea yet.The story was the same for the Second World War\u2014instead, 1 was safely born into the eighties.During my lifetime, war has been something that i read about in the paper\u2014it has never affected me directly; it has never touched our family\u2019s doorstep.That being said, | understand and appreciate the luxury of that.That is why November 11th is significant for me\u2014and why it should hold a moment in all of our hearts.Whether you choose to don a poppy, attend a ceremony or simply take a moment of silence, please take a moment to honour our veterans.This freedom to choose, which we have been afforded, was not in fact, free.With a little over 100,000 Canadians sacrificing their lives in both World Wars (not to mention the countless others lost to peacekeeping, Korea and Afghanistan), it is essential that the youth of today take the time to inform themselves of the efforts that lurk behind the carefree life that we so harmoniously live.For these luxuries | say thank you to all the veterans, both with us and departed, not only on the day of November 11th, but on everyday of our lives in this beautiful country.So on behalf of everyone here at The Gleaner, we say thank you for your service.THIS AND THAT INTOWN ORMSTOWN SOCCER CLUB GENERAL MEETING The Ormstown

He later went on to work for a wood working business in Granby, which after a time, required new signage.His research led him to discover something called a Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machine.After becoming a partner, Roskies took his knowledge home to the Chateauguay Valley, where he started The Valley Workshop in April 2014.As for the name?\u201cThe name is an ode to the community that raised me and the one | retumed to,\" said Roskies.Roskies, who is the grandson of the founder of the former Huntingdon Mills, won the Quebec Entrepreneurship Contest this year.That publicity helped kick-start the business, which is largely web-based.\u201cBeing a primarily web-based business, | could have chosen many places to set up shop.But it was my heart that led me back to the Valley.There are so many people here that were worth coming back for, and I'm glad | did.My wife is the best example, but there are many others\u201d oi Rodrigue \u201d Montpetit & Fils [HEMMINGFORD, QUE.Kelly G.S.Inc.When Only The Best Will Do!
