Did the Government of Canada declare 2006 Year of the War Bride?
Although many Canadians believe that the Federal Government declared 2006 Year of the War Bride, the Federal Minister of Heritage, Bev Oda, refused to do so when asked. However, six provincial governments, beginning with New Brunswick, did declare Year of the War Bride in their own provinces: New Brunswick, Manitoba, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Prince Edward Island. Saskatchewan declared November 2006 “Month” of the War Bride.
