By Rosalind Russell – With Remembrance Day less than a week away, the province is introducing the Honouring Veterans Act.
The bill would expand recognition to veterans for their service and contributions to Canada.
A new award is being developed with the provincial command of the Royal Canadian Legion to specifically celebrate veterans who have made significant contributions in their communities.
The province also says the proposed act condemns any actions that disrespect veterans, including acts of stolen valour — which involves making false claims or representations about military service, rank or medals received.
