Donated DVD compilation tracks the footsteps of WWII troops
In 2001, one man has retraced
the steps of Canadian troops.
From Juno Beach through
Normandy, Belgium, Holland
and the Rhineland, he visited
war cemeteries, walked among
thousands of monuments that
honour young Canadians and
became deeply moved by the
enormous contributions made
toward victory in world con-
flicts.
Upon his return that man,
Stewart Toll, initiated what is
now called the Bridges to Re-
membrance School Project.
Toll, a Huron County na-
tive, has produced a poignant
audiovisual statement of his
journey titled A Bridge to Re-
membrance. Recently, Toll
paid a visit to the Goderich
branch of the Royal Canadian
Legion where, after acting as
guest speaker, he donated a
copy of his DVD compilation
to the branch.
On November 3 the Probus
Club of Goderich and District
was privileged to have Toll as
a guest speaker.
A retired Director of Educa-
tion for the Middlesex County
Board of Education, Toll spent
his formative years on a farm
in Huron County.
In Bridges to Remembrance,
text, music and pictures are
blended to assist viewers in
understanding and appreciat-
ing the scale and dedication of
the effort that Canada provided
in resources of personnel and
materials to win the war.
Copies of the DVD may be
ordered from Exemplary Con-
sultants (London) Ltd.
Toll left a copy of the four-
part DVD with the Probus pres-
ident and asked that it be donat-
ed to the Goderich Legion.
