January XXIIIrd, MMXV

Hon. Gordon Dirks, B. Ed., M. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow

Dear Gordon:

The area of focus for Bev Shipley, MP appears to be the recognizing of Canada's military heroes through tributes. How are students supposed to honour Canadian Armed Forces by joining them unless they look about & learn from our great military history?

"Today we are here to recognize & also honour the significant contribution of General Sir Arthur Currie with the unveiling of the commemorative bronze statue of him at the Strathroy Cenotaph. General Currie grew up in Strathroy & was recognized as the first-ever Canadian General."

Number CCLX (260),

Rory
