Searching for Local WWII Canadian Veterans

 Vic Fedeli, MPP for Nipissing is reaching out to the public to find our local Canadian WWII veterans, so that we can honour the contributions they’ve made to our Country and Province.

 “Our veterans have made tremendous sacrifices to keep our province and country safe,” said MPP Vic Fedeli. “The number of Second World War veterans across Canada is steadily diminishing. We’d like to take an opportunity to honour them, by nominating them for the King Charles III Coronation Medal.

 “We’ve been told through Veteran Affairs that we have a small number of WWII Canadian veterans in Nipissing, however, due to privacy laws, they are unable to share the veterans’ information with us. We are reaching out to the public to ask for assistance. If you know an area Canadian WWII veteran, please ask them or their family to contact us”.

 “They fought for King and country; let’s honour them with the new King’s medal,” added Fedeli.  

 Information can be shared through our Constituency Office. Required information includes:

·       first/last name

·       address

·       preferred language

·       brief description of Veteran’s service in WWII

Requirements:

·       the medal can be made posthumously, as long as the Veteran was alive on May 6, 2023 – the date His Majesty was crowned

 Information can be shared:

·       via email vic.fedeli@pc.ola.org

·       in-person: 219 Main Street East North Bay
