August 1, 2026 Our Association has been an evolving entity over thirty-four years and through our various initiatives we have attempted to preserve our Canadian wartime heritage and history. The Wartime Heritage website has grown into a substantial and widely accessed historical resource, welcoming more than 185,000 visits from 112 countries between 2001 and 2005, a reflection of its global reach and the universal resonance of its subject matter. Today the site contains over 2,600 pages of research, remembrance, and archival interpretation, documenting the military history of Nova Scotia and its connections to wider Canadian and Commonwealth wartime experiences. Our commitment has produced an extensive collection of remembrance pages, service profiles, local enlistment records, thematic studies, and narrative features. The work preserves individual stories alongside broader historical context, ensuring that community memory, regional contributions, and personal sacrifice remain accessible to families, researchers, educators, and visitors around the world. To remember the men and women of the war years and their achievement is to understand our wartime heritage. To emulate their qualities is to build a better society today and tomorrow. As the wartime generation ages the importance of what our Association does takes on an even greater importance. The success of our initiatives is possible through generous financial sponsorship of those who believe in the importance of remembering and the support of our initiatives. To our supporters and sponsors we owe a sincere thank you. George Egan Chairman The Wartime Heritage Association
