| Jim Parrell CD. President, On behalf of all our members, Welcome to the Dartmouth /Halifax Chapter of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping (CAVUNP). |
| WE wish to inform all other individuals and organizations of our goals,and of our willingness to work side-by-side with others to promote these same values. We are steeping into the future with thirty nine members and striving to increase membership of interested and like minded indivivuals. All who visit our site are encouraged to enjoy the links to our National site as well as affiliated chapters and associations. All members are encouraged to come out, support and get involved in Chapter activities and initativies. We are truely grateful to the Royal Canadian Legion,Centeninal Branch # 160 for providing a home for our association,where we hold our general meetings and proudly display our Charter. Chapter members are encouraged to take time to reflect upon our comrades who cannot be with us because of their selfless sacrifice in the pursuit of bringing peace to the world. The have paid the ultimate price in the intrest of our Nations values,and are deserving of both our acknowledgement and respect. This Chapter had its beginning back in November 2002,when discussions were undertaken to formulate a CAVUNP chapter here in HRM. The first meeting consisting of nine or ten men was chaired by Terry Hutchinson. Discussions were concentrated on topics such as,elgibility criteria for membership,suitable attire,and how best to emulate the traditions and values of the CAVUNP in a local Chapter. In consultation with the National Board and Regional Directors this small group forumlated the initial draft of our Chapter Constitution and By-Laws document for review and acceptance by the National Board. After the National Board`s review and approval the Dartmouth/Halifax Chapter was recoginized as the offical CAVUNP Chapter within HRM.Thanks to the initative of this small group of men,we have a means now by which we can celebrate the memory of our comrades who fell in the pursuit of peace in the world. Particular thanks and acknowledgement to Comrade Terry Hutchinson for his insight,professionalism and initative in recognizing this lapse in acknowledgement and working through the challenges necessary to formulate the Dartmouth/Halifax Chapter as we know it today. |
