2006 marks 60th anniversary of the War Bride
BY HEIDI ULRICHSEN

Six Pioneer Manor residents who came to the country after the Second World
War as the blushing brides of Canadian servicemen were honoured by the
nursing home Wednesday.

The war brides were presented with certificates and framed and restored
wedding photographs in celebration of the Year of the War Bride. This year
marks the 60th anniversary of when most war brides came to Canada.

The elderly women were joined for scones and tea by friends and family, Ward
3 Councillor Ron Dupuis, and 15 members of the Sudbury War Brides Club.

The nursing home's manager of recreation and volunteerism, Ginette
Forget-Rose, told the crowd a little bit about the war brides' lives.

"We got some information about you from your families. We did a little bit
of conniving and got some of your history. There's a lot of things you
ladies didn't know that we did," she said.
