1. "Bridges for Canada"/« Ponts pour le Canada » Marker
In 2000, to commemorate a century of service, Canadian Military Engineers embarked on a three-year program of assisting communities along the Trans Canada Trail to construct and restore bridges. Thirty of these bridges are shown here.
For the last century Canadian Military Engineers have been part of the nation's communities. In times of celebration, conflicts, natural disasters and national development, they have served their country and their fellow citizens well, as skilled, dedicated and devoted members of the profession-of-arms. Their three-year Centennial 2003 "Bridges for Canada" program is a continuance of this legacy, and this panel is its testimony.
Chimo!
—————————————————
Depuis 100 ans, le Génie militaire canadien fait partie de nos communautés. Il prête son assistance lors de célébrations, mais intervient aussi dans les moments difficiles, en cas de catastrophe naturelle ou de conflit ou simplement pour contribuer au développement du pays. Le Génie militaire canadien est toujours là, soucieux de représenter et de servir avec compétence et dévouement le métier des armes, le Canada et ses citoyens. Son programme triennal du Centenaire « Ponts pour le Canada » s'inscrit dans le prolongement de cette mission et ce panneau rend hommage à ses réalisations.
Erected 2003.
