Ford. Then they returned home and set to work building the towns and country they fought for. Many Canadian Auto Workers and men who constructed Oakville's Ford plant were vets, as were many police and fire personnel plus doctors and nurses. "They not only defended our free dom, they built Oakville," said Insp. Ford, who since June 2001 has worked steadily with other volunteers to make the day happen. They include the Rotary Clubs of Oakville West and Oakville Trafalgar, Bronte and Oakville Legions, Police Chief Ean Algar plus volunteers with no Rotary or Legion association who just wanted to lend a hand. "This is the first time anything is being done for the veterans in Oakville, except for Remembrance Day," said George Gourlay, past president of Branch 486 Bronte o f the Royal Canadian Legion. "We've never held a mass dinner for them." The event, to be declared Veterans' Day by Mayor Ann Mulvale, promises to the be the largest gathering of its kind in Canada. Organizers' first hurdle was to sim ply find Oakville's veterans. With no co-operation from the government, Insp. Ford explained that the search was akin to a police investigation but in the end, more than 500 vets have been located, invited and telephoned to deter mine their transportation requirements and special needs. "The committee has done an awful lot of work," said Insp. Ford, who explained that 25 vets who left Oakville to fight, returned home and still live here have also been found. `Together we've strived to put this event together." One loose end, said Insp. Ford, is that the effort is still about $ 10,000 short so anyone wishing to donate is encour aged to do so at the CIBC branch at 197 Lakeshore Rd. East in Downtown Oakville. The event is expected to cost $50,000. Donors can chose to `adopt a veter an' and spouse for $50, or host a table of 10 for $500. Donations can be made at the CIBC at 197 Lakeshore Rd. E. "This event is being staged at no cost to the veterans," said Steve Cryne, fundraising chair and president-elect of the Rotary Club of Oakville West. "We just want to cover our costs. "This whole thing has been organ ized to thank the veterans for their con tribution." Parking at Appleby is limited so any veteran with an invitation can ride Oakville Transit for free to pick-up points at Hopedale Mall and the Oakville GO station. A variety of military displays and a special children's presentation kicks off the day at 1 p.m., followed by the tattoo at 3:30 p.m. This will feature the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry Military Band, Argyle & Sutherland Highlanders Pipe Band, Lome Scots, 20 Highland dancers. Pipe Major John Terrence, and narrator Col. John Dinsmore. The Lancaster - courtesy of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum will make its fly-past at 4 p.m. and after the bomber circles back it will make a second appearance around 4:20 p.m. At 3 p.m. the 30-member Oakville Christian School Choir with sing, with string accompaniment. Everyone is invited to attend these events but the formal dinner, however, is for veterans only. This will feature Vera Lynn-style singer Debbie SanderWalker and the Royal Canadian Legion Colour Party. The evening should wrap up around 7 p.m. "It's going to be a fabulous day," said Insp. Ford. For more information, Insp. Ford can be reached at 905-825-4713. - With files from Wilma Blokhuis
