Prime Minister to attend Dieppe memorial
August 18, 2008
The Hamilton Spectator
Prime Minister Stephen Harper will attend the Dieppe memorial service in Hamilton tomorrow.
The leader’s office called local organizers this morning to confirm Harper will make a special appearance at 11 a.m. at the commemorative service at the Dieppe Veterans’ Memorial Park on Beach Boulevard. He plans to lay a wreath.
“I’m impressed. It’s a great honour,” said organizer Jim Forsyth. “The veterans will be impressed.”
Tomorrow marks the 66th anniversary of the raid on Dieppe during the Second World War.
Harper is in Hamilton tomorrow to make an announcement at the Hamilton General Hospital. Details of the 10 a.m. press conference have not be released.
Mayor Fred Eisenberger asked Harper to rearrange his schedule in order to attend the Dieppe memorial.
