“These wars touched the lives of Canadians of all ages, all races, all social classes. Fathers, sons, daughters, sweethearts: they were killed in action, they were wounded, and thousands who returned were forced to live the rest of their lives with the physical and mental scars of war. The people who stayed in Canada also served—in factories, in voluntary service organizations, wherever they were needed. Yet for many of us, war is a phenomenon seen through the lens of a television camera or a journalist's account of fighting in distant parts of the world. Our closest physical and emotional experience may be the discovery of wartime memorabilia in a family attic. But even items such as photographs, uniform badges, medals, and diaries can seem vague and unconnected to the life of their owner. For those of us born during peacetime, all wars seem far removed from our daily lives. We often take for granted our Canadian values and institutions, our freedom to participate in cultural and political events, and our right to live under a government of our choice. The Canadians who went off to war in distant lands went in the belief that the values and beliefs enjoyed by Canadians were being threatened. They truly believed that "without freedom there can be no ensuring peace and without peace no enduring freedom." By remembering their service and their sacrifice, we recognize the tradition of freedom these men and women fought to preserve. They believed that their actions in the present would make a significant difference for the future, but it is up to us to ensure that their dream of peace is realized. On Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served their country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve. During times of war, individual acts of heroism occur frequently; only a few are ever recorded and receive official recognition. By remembering all who have served, we recognize their willingly-endured hardships and fears, taken upon themselves so that we could live in peace.” Excerpt from www.veterans.gc.ca, a wonderful website filled with valuable information, stories and videos in honour of Remembrance Day. Let Us Never Forget... We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifice of those one hundred thousand Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for us, for their homes and families and friends, for a collection of traditions they cherished and a future they believed in; they died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice rests with our collective national consciousness; our future is their monument. We Will Remember Their Sacrifice For Our Freedom!

AS THE END OF 2016 IS QUICKLY APPROACHING,
the days are getting shorter and the weather is getting
colder. But the real estate market continues to show strong
sales, despite a small cooling of homes sold. Over 200 sales
occurred in the headwaters region of Dufferin, Caledon,
Erin and Orangeville.
Again the inventory remains an issue in the headwaters
area. The amount of homes for sale dropped by 42 down
to 365 available listings in the headwaters.
In Orangeville, more homes sold that were available at the
end of October (47 sales, 39 listings). With only 2 months
left we will see if total sales will beat out the record year in
2015. ~ Dave
