Quiet ceremony at cenotaph to honour fallen D-Day soldiers
Summerside councillor and former executive director of the Lest We Forget Veterans Committee Barb Gallant was charged earlier this month with stealing from the committee.
Architect Renée Daoust and her team say they're considering a lawsuit to get what they argue is rightfully theirs: the $3.5 million contract to design and build a monument to commemorate Canada's mission in Afghanistan.
It would aim to strengthen "planning, monitoring and evaluation of policies" related to temporary immigration amid an increase in Quebec.
Officials at Veterans Affairs (VAC) feared that their decision to overrule the government's handpicked jury on a proposed design for the Afghan war memorial would be met with a "mixed reaction" that could "negatively affect the families of the fallen," says an internal department memo obtained by CBC/Radio-Canada.
