Messages from France, sixty years after "D"
Day
- Thursday
July 1, 2004
by: Bernard de Maussion
Mondeville, France
: When Canadian armed forces landed on Juno and Sword beach in Normandy in 1944 they
made history, many of them died but through their efforts the German occupation forces
was hurled back into the low countries. The people of France remember that sacrifice
and Bernard de Maussion has sent us eleven local newspaper clippings telling of "D"
Day celebrations last month.

Tisdale : The
development of the old TUCs field seemed to be in full throttle this week as the
town installed water and sewer service into four lots on the north side of the field
while Chupa Excavation developed a parking lot on the west side of the Golden Age
Centre and the first floor of the new condominium is taking shape on the southeast
corner. There goes the neighbourhood! This story includes a QuickTime VR panorama
(400KB).
