Saint Tabitha (aka Dorcas) is the primary patron saint of sewing, tailors, and seamstresses. The biblical Book of Acts describes her as a woman full of good works and acts of charity who made coats and garments for the poor.

An all-scarlet wedge cap could indicate 12th Royal Lancers, while all-crimson would be 11th Hussars. Likely a staff officer accompanying Monty on his visit. Great bit of headgear trivia, thanks for pointing it out!

Bit of a risk to write such a long sign! Perhaps they had several examples on stand-by.

There is still plenty of time for Canadian university students to apply for the battlefield study tour with the Canadian Battlefields Foundation!

Canadian university students should check out this opportunity from the Canadian Battlefields Foundation for a study tour to Europe in late May-June to visit Canadian battlefields of the First and Second World Wars.

Here in Eastern Ontario Loughborough Lake is pronounced Low-boro. When I moved to the area 25 years ago I used the UK pronunciation and was quickly "corrected."

From May to September 1967, 100 men on 10 provincial/territorial teams took part in the Voyageur Centennial Canoe Pageant. The longest canoe race in history, it went from Rocky Mountain House, AB to Montreal. This is the story of one epic competition. 🧵 1/12

National flags becoming more evident here in Canada in reaction to our southern neighbour's announced policy of extinguishing our country. Also an opportunity to reclaim the flag from the far right Freedom convoy types who hijacked it in 2022.
