Every veteran has a distinct story to tell and unique experiences to share but they all have one thing in common – they have all accepted considerable risks and hardships and time away from loved ones for the honour of serving their country. Therefore, remembrance is one of the ways we make a difference in a veteran’s life. In Branch 288, we have 92 members who identify as veterans. This ongoing article will introduce you to the Royal Canadian Legion (RCL), Branch 288 Westbank veterans who wish to participate.

In our fifth installment, meet David Gerald Morrison. David first joined the Reserve on 16 June 1953 as an Army Artilleryman. In May of 1954, he transferred to the Regular Force and this time joined the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). He spent 14 years sailing with her Majesty's ships, including minesweepers and destroyers. In 1962, he was stationed on Her Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) Fraser, where he was the second in command of the Sonar Branch. His most memorable moment of his career came when he was stationed on the west side of the Panama Canal during the Cuban missile crisis. Davide retired from the RCN on 20 March 1968 as a Sailor 1st Class.

🔔 There are only a few days left to experience the must-see exhibition “Denyse Thomasos: just beyond”!

Closing on Monday, April 1, this career retrospective brings together more than 70 paintings and works on paper, showcasing how the late Trinidadian-Canadian artist (1964–2012) challenged the limits of abstraction to become one of the finest painters to emerge in the 1990s.

The Gallery is OPEN for the long weekend. Come in and get inspired! Plan you visit at https://www.vanartgallery.bc.ca/visit
