Gags & Laughs

November 11 marks the day in which we re-member those who lost their lives in our armed forces. One institution dedicated to their remembrance is the Canadian War Mu-seum, our national museum of military histo-ry. Located in Ottawa, Ontario, the museum covers all facets of Canada's military past, from the first recorded instances of death by armed violence in Canadian history several hundred years ago to the country's most re-cent involvement in conflicts.

It includes major per-manent exhibitions on wars that have been fought on Ca-nadian soil or have involved the Canadi-an military. Displayed

in open storage are large objects from the Museum's collection, from naval guns to tanks, from motorcycles to jet aircraft. The exhibits depict Canada's military past in its personal, national and international dimen-sions, with special emphasis on the human experience of war and the manner in which

war has affected, and been affected by, Ca-nadian participation. Much of the Museum's public exhibition space is devoted to its Canadian Experience Galleries which underline the significant role Canadians have played in international con-flicts. Their current exhibit features the enor-mous changes brought about by the first and second World Wars to Canadian women’s lives. They adapted to the conditions of total war in practical terms – working, volunteering and serving in uniform. The contributions made by women to the Canadian war efforts were crucial, and their experiences forged a new understanding of women’s capabilities both within themselves and within society. Though wom-en’s role in the military was limited to com-munication, medical care and admin-istration for

much of the 20th Century, changes in policy during the seventies and eighties opened all military positions to women. Since then, Canadian women in have fought alongside, as well as lost lives, alongside their male colleagues in the armed forces. They have contributed greatly to our military and con-tinue their struggle toward equality in their workplace.

Manager’s Musing November. What’s good about it? It is the month that we lose an entire hour of daylight; colourful October leaves fall to the ground and form a slick,

pasty hazard on the sidewalk. It is the time when any hint of the sun’s warmth becomes a faint memory. This is a transitional time; stuck between the positivity of a bountiful har-vest and the warmth of a roaring Christmas season fire; a time when the weather sys-tems become turbulent and wind storms threaten our coastline.

There has never been a more turbulent or threatening time than when our country has been at war. We are very blessed to have residents that remember vividly the time when our very safety and security were in jeopardy.

If November has one redeeming feature it is the opportunity it presents to remember the incredible sacrifice made by millions of our compatriots in creating peace in our land. Join us this month as we pay tribute to the armed forces and civilians that sacrificed for our welfare.

Did you know? Smoke Alarms have an expiry date

Every suite in the building is equipped with a vital piece of equipment called a smoke detector. This device will emit a loud pitched squeal when it senses that something is burning. Remember that this does NOT set off a general alarm so if the problem is simp-ly a piece of burnt toast it will give us the opportunity to investigate without sending the entire building scurrying for the exits.

To ensure that these detectors are in the best possible working order we do the follow-ing:

Test them annually (in June).

Replace them (every 10 years).

The detector in your suite is current as we installed up to date devices within the past five years.
