4- The Oakville Beaver, Friday November 9, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Saluting sacrifices brick by brick As president and director of the Juno Beach Centre, Burlington D-Day veteran Garth Webb has been an active promoter of projects to remember every Canadian soldier who sacrificed their life during the Second World War. To that end, Webb has been devoting his energy locally to promoting the Halton Juno Beach Memorial Brick Campaign, a project to raise awareness and funds to buy a memorial brick for each of the 264 Halton men and women killed serving Canada between 1939-45. The bricks -- actually plaques with the names of veterans inscribed on them -- are displayed on kiosks located on the grounds of the centre, which was opened on June 6, 2003 at Courseulles-sur-Mer, France. On the properties courtyard there are 17 kiosks containing some 11,000 bricks purchased by and for Canadian veterans. Webb's goal is to see the brick purchasing program expand across the country and ultimately result in a brick purchased for each of the more than 42,000 Canadians killed while serving in the Second World War. Webb also joined forces with Halton's public and Catholic school boards to produce a teaching unit. For information about the Juno Beach Centre, Commemorative Resource Guide for Canadian Teachers and Students or brick campaign, visit www.junobeach.org. The Minister of Canadian Heritage has designated the Juno Beach landing site to be a site of national historic significance to Canada.
