Veterans are called upon regularly to speak at significant events, such as the anniversary of significant battles like the Battle of Vimy Ridge and the Dieppe raid. They are also called upon heavily for Remembrance Day.
When we go out, we speak about the need for individuals—students and young people—to stay with their program of education. A number of us are involved with another organization that sponsors a volunteer speakers bureau, The Memory Project, so it's not just about reaching out and encouraging people to stick with education. We do that. There are gatherings of students whenever we have achievement awards, or the Indspire awards. We get about 1,500 students each time we have these events. It's like a trade show, where they learn about educational opportunities in various universities and job opportunities in various industries, whether it's in mining, general business or banking.
