HONOURING OUR 97 YEAR OLD WWII VETERAN
APRIL 13, 2018
We had the absolute honour of presenting Mr. Michael Springford’s family with his service medals, which he earned over 70 years ago for his service in the Royal Canadian Navy. Michael volunteered from 1940-1945 and served overseas in the North Atlantic. His daughter, granddaughter and great grandson proudly received the awards on his behalf and we are so thankful for his and their great sacrifice. It has been such a pleasure to have the opportunity to get to know and support Michael.
