In 2002, former Deputy Prime Minister, Herb Grey, publicly acknowledged and presented a peace dove carving and plaque to the producers (Anthony J. Towstego, Brian Swidrovich) for their efforts towards recording and preserving valuable Veteran stories. Further that year, Canada Remembers Veterans Reunion (show 1 of 6) was selected for the New York Independent Film Festival. Five more shows were consequently produced and added to the Canada Remembers programming over a twelve-year span. With the support of two past Veteran Affairs Ministers appearing on camera in two of the documentaries and contribution and endorsement from Veteran Affairs and many other organizations, we are able to educate more and more schools on our Veterans and history. We have had the collaborative support of the Royal Canadian Legion on this project since the mid 1990’s.
The show broadcast nationally on the Global and Prime networks in 2001. It broadcast provincially on SCN. Canada Remembers has been distributed to elementary and post secondary schools across the nation and is now a prerequisite in many Canadian schools curriculum. In 2002 Canada Remembers was selected to screen at the New York Independent Film Festival. Please contact us for inquires about copies of this video available to the public, lest we forget.
