Memorial Dedication For Sergeant Martin Goudreault

TEMISKAMING SHORES – Friends, family members, local dignitaries and supporters gathered Saturday afternoon to honour the sacrifice of Sergeant Martin Goudreault.

The lookout park on Highway 11, across from the Ministry of Transportation office and facing north toward the Little Claybelt, was dedicated on October 15 in memory of Sgt. Goudreault, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2010.

“It is a priviledge to be here today for this dedication to honour our son”, said Sgt. Goudreault’s father, Aurel to a crowd of about 70 including his wife Micheline.

Sgt. Goudreault was just 35 when he was killed in action in the Panjwayi District of Afghanistan on June 6, 2010. It was his third tour of duty in Afghanistan. He was a 15-year veteran of 1 Combat Engineer Regiment, First Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group.

What a great way to honour one of our fallen. “His name will never be forgotten”

Oktoberfest Parade

This years Thanksgiving Canadian Heroes had the priviledge in participating at the Octoberfest parade in Kitchener, On. With Estimated crowds of over 100,000 spectators and national media coverage, our four cars were driven with pride. It was pleasant to receive such a great response from the crowd many who gave standing ovations, and placing their hands on their heart as we passed by. Overall it was a great experience and overwhelming to say the least.

Wendy Storm, family member of fallen soldier Corporal Albert Storm, CD wrote: “Today we did the Octoberfest parade there are no other words to say other then amazing and wow, people clapping and giving standing ovations. THANK YOU CANADIANS huge THANK YOU TO CHRIS YOU ARE A TRULY AMAZING MAN. Thank you for never letting them be forgotten”

Carrie Vernelli, family member of fallen soldier Master Corporal Scott Francis Vernelli wrote: “well the Octoberfest parade is done! What a truly amazing experience! We were so honoured to be apart of it! People were standing up out of their chairs and giving us standing ovations! Got a lot of goosebumps, chills and tears! Miss you Scottie! xoxoxo”

Susie Lubberts-Macdonald proud Canadian and Canadian Heroes volunteer wrote: “The Thanksgiving/Octoberfest parade that we participated in with Canadian Heroes was truly an amazing experience.A sea of people lined the streets and when we drove past they clapped, rising from their chairs and giving us a standing ovation. I got goosebumps, tears welled up in my eyes, and a sense of pride overwhelmed me. Thank you Chris Ecklund and Canadian Heroes for allowing me to experience this.”

Peterborough Speedway With Gary Elliott

The final race of the season should have been the Autumn Colours Classic in Peterborough, Ontario. However Flamboro's Ocktoberfest features rained out on October 2nd and that show will run this coming Saturday with the rain date Sunday.

Our team worked hard this weekend bringing us a 9th place finish in a very tough handling car. We worked on it continually, not ever giving up. We had a 5th place car, but after our troubles started we could easily have finished 20th. However we pressed on getting a 9th place finish and on the lead lap.

Thank you for your support.
