This cache is placed at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 173 in McCreary, MB. Though all the sacrifices made by the men and women in the area were great, it is believed that no family in Canada made a greater one than the Cantin family. With eight brothers, one sister, one cousin the family adopted and was considered a son, and one sister in law that joined Canada’s war effort in World War II. Mrs. Cantin was named a Silver Cross Mother in 1960. The Cantin House is also located just down the street to the West of the legion if you wish to see it.
It was not uncommon for families in the area to send up to six or seven mainly because of a training base located close to the village. If you wish to learn more there is a small museum of artifacts inside the legion. A monument has also been erected in commemoration of the soldiers from the local area killed during military service.
Cache has been placed with permission of the legion. This cache is also placed with our thanks for all that the members of the legion have done and continue to do in our community.
