OTTAWA - Petty officer Richard Austin was sitting at his position on board HMCS Athabaskan when he heard a clang. It was 1991, and the Canadian destroyer was traversing an Iraqi minefield in the Persian Gulf, on its way to rescue a crippled American warship.

Legion president Marc Picard says the levy normally attracts more than 200 people between noon and 6 p.m.
“We’re definitely going to miss the levy,” he says. “We had a live band plus the pipe band, which were both a big draw and, of course, the moose milk.”
Moose milk is a secret recipe made every New Year’s Day to celebrate the new year. Legion members and guests who enter the legion on Jan. 1 are greeted with the sweet drink.
