Hello geocachers!
My name is "Kyung-A's McGill TB", and I was 'activated' at McGill University in Montreal, Canada on Nov 11th, 2011 in honour of the Rememberance Day Ceremony held on campus today.
As my mission states, I want to travel around the world and collect images of people enjoying their freedom while doing something we, the geocaching community, love to do... exploring the great outdoors!
So please post up pictures of you, your friends, or your family enjoying the sun, rain, snow, or whatever else mother nature throws at you while you're out there.
Happy travels!
p.s. You can also follow my better half, "KMajor's McGill TB" (TB18NT8), in his travels. If we ever meet again, please take a photo of us together!

McGill University is pleased to again play host to the Royal Canadian Legion’s official Montreal Remembrance Day ceremony on Friday, Nov. 11 at 10:30 a.m. on McGill’s lower field.
The event will bring together veterans, dignitaries and the event’s special guest of honor, Marc Garneau, Member of Parliament for Westmount Ville-Marie. The ceremony will include a 21-gun salute from four cannons positioned in front of McGill's Arts Building, as well as the laying of wreaths and performances by military bands.
In honoring tradition, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Canadians pause to remember the thousands of men and women who sacrificed their lives in military service. Two minutes of silence will be observed at 11 a.m., between the first and second gun salutes.
In the 20th Century’s two World Wars, McGill lost more than 600 men and women: 363 from McGill perished in World War I and another 298 lost their lives in World War II. McGill also made significant contributions to the medical care of wounded soldiers in both wars. Since then, members of the McGill community have helped resolve conflicts in Kosovo, Eritrea, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Please join us in reflecting on their sacrifices and ensuring they are never forgotten.
