Thank you.
Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to your deliberations.
My name is Kathy Grant, founder of the Legacy Voices project, co-creator of the Black Canadian veterans's stories program and website, historian on the No. 2 Construction Battalion commemoration committee, and school and community educator on the struggles and accomplishments of the many Black Canadians who have served our country in military service since the War of 1812.
