Since 2016, every November, I have the opportunity to share with the Grade 4 students at École Mgr. de Laval stories about Jack a soldier during World War 2.
Did you know that Holland and Canada are best friends because of what Canada did for Holland during World War 2? Yes, through the stories Jack shared with me before he passed away I learned about the special connection between our two countries and this is why Dutch people are so friendly to Canadians.
On February 14th, I had the privilege to speak with the students at École Elsie Mironuck Community School in Regina (Saskatchewan). I was invited to share with the Grade 5-8 students the moving story of when I stood up to protect a fellow student in my school.
