Dougie's story

I was awe-inspired for two days in Moncton recently—diving into the Army’s stories there. The people and the passion I discovered there have had a big impact on me.

Not least of which is the story about Dougie. His story is a perfect example of where…the Army sees a person and a need, and they bend over backwards to fill that need.

The ideal person to tell this story is Aline Farrell with Correctional and Justice Services at “Greenfield House.” Greenfield is a “stepping stone” to the community for male and female inmates being released from prison.

Scotian Glen video

Another camping season is winding up at Scotian Glen, the Army’s children’s camp on the banks of the Sutherland River near New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.

If you’ve never been to the camp or witnessed the tremendous influence it has on kids and others at-risk from across the Maritimes, take a couple minutes to watch this video.
