Received from Fred Leblanc.There may be a lot of hidden discounts and "freebies" out there ,never be ashamed or afraid to ask .As a reminder to all ,that our veterans fought hard and long for our freedoms ,lets not give it away or allow anyone to forget the sacrifices that they made. I have noticed that when visiting the USA they openly advertise "veterans discounts" and they honour our Canadian veterans as they do their own.

Hi Fellow Veterans
    During the week-end of 02-03 July we were in Halifax and while there we decided to visit the Citadel Museum etc, and just by chance we discovered Veterans were admitted free of charge during the Year of the Veteran, mind you it is not advertised, it is just passed on verbally.
    We were told it applied to National Parks and establishments administered by Parks Canada, therefore while visiting any of these establishments ask for the Veteran discount, as a matter of fact it would not hurt to ask for Veterans discount at other establishments not administered by Parks Canada.
    Pass the word on to other Veterans on you mailing list.
    Have a nice summer and happy travelling.
