‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.’

A young girl places carnations in front of a Canadian headstone at the Holten Canadian War Cemetery in the Netherlands. Every year, thousands of Dutch gather at the cemetery to remember Canada’s efforts in freeing their country at the end of the Second World War. Over 1,300 Canadians were laid to rest in this cemetery. The remains of 98 other Commonwealth soldiers are also here. Managing editor Jason Antonio was at this event and saw this girl place her flowers. Photo — RTVoost News

Headmaster of Bishop McAllister College visits Saskatchewan By Mary Brown PRINCE ALBERT – What more could on ask for at a Raider’s Hockey Game than sudden death overtime, a couple of good fights and the Raiders winning the game? Hope and Caleb Twinamatsiko from Uganda were thrilled to be able to take in a hockey game when they visited the diocese in September. The couple attended our Tuesday morning Eucharist and a coffee get-together afterwards. This is when he told us what his version of skates was: “boots with

knives on the bottom of them.” That is why he wondered why any parent would let their child play hockey Another highlight of their visit was to go for a ride on a combine. David Adams was combining canola on the land beside St. Mary’s Cemetery and noticed the bishop and his guests watching him. He graciously asked them if they wanted to go for a ride. They were very excited as they had talked about combines and hockey in their school in Africa and now could experience the real thing.

Hope took many pictures and videos of everything they did. They will have lots to talk about when they get home. They even took a small sample of canola seed with them. The couple spoke to a large group of people gathered a St. Alban’s Cathedral on Sept. 24. They are from Uganda, which is located in East Africa. It covers 93,263 square miles with a population of 41 million. Half of the population is younger than 14 years. About three million children have lost their parent either to HIV/AIDS, war or accidents.

When asked about tribal wars in Uganda, Canon Caleb said there are so many different tribes in Uganda that there are not enough of them to get a large enough group together to fight each other (which is a good thing). The accidents that people are killed in are mostly car and pedestrian accidents. Canon Caleb is the assistant rector of Bishop McAllister College and headmaster of the Secondary Section. The college offers programs in theological studies, O & A Level studies, as well as a seminary program of primary and O level

studies. There are about 700 students at the school and half of them are orphans. They are very thankful to the people in Canada for their generosity in their donations to the college. Hope joined Compassion International, where she was a project director for more than 10 years. She also took courses in Child Development, earned a certificate and a diploma in counselling and a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. Today she is a lecturer at Kamala See “UGANDA” on page 5
