Veterans Protest Office Closure

black wreath at VA office
The Veteran's Affairs office in Thunder Bay is closing today.  This morning there was extreme emotion at the office on Red River Road as veterans held a mock Remembrance Day ceremony complete with a wreath and poppies to commemorate the closure.   Also on hand was local veteran Roy Lamore who went to Ottawa and pleaded in vain with the minister Julian Fantino to keep this office, another others in the country, open.
