Great Lakes Storm of 1913 monument unveiled Ceremony kicked off a weekend of remembrance events Dave Flaherty QM Agency It was fitting that a blustery wind was blowing off Lake Huron. That wind could be felt by the many who attended a special ceremony held in Goderich on Nov. 8 to offi- cially kick off the centenary remembrance of the Great Lakes Storm of 1913. A large number of com- mittee members, dignitaries and members of the public braved the windy, cold weather to witness the ceremony. "What a fitting day," said Capt. David MacAdam, chair of The Great Lakes Storm of 1913 Remembrance Com- mittee, speaking of the weather while addressing the gathered crowd. From Nov. 7 to Nov. 10, 1913, the Great Lakes were battered by what have been called the "greatest nautical disaster" in its history. The Great Storm claimed 250 lives, stranding 19 other people and causing 12 shipwrecks. The worse damage was on Nov 9, the majority of which was seen on Lake Huron, host to eight of the 12 shipwrecks. The past weekend featured a number of activities with the goal of remembering the disaster and those who lost their lives. Before the ceremony started, the Celtic Blue High- landers and Flag Parties marched from Vickers Lane to Cannon Park. MacAdam welcomed all those in attendance, fol- lowed by an opening prayer and blessing from the Vener- able Allan Livingstone, chap- lain for Royal Canadian Legion branch 109 in Goderich. Greetings were read by a number of dignitaries. CLINTON RADARS 2013-2014 HOME GAMES FRIDAY • NOVEMBER 15, 2013 • 8:30 GODERICH PIRATES CLINTON RADARS @ CLINTON SPONSORED BY: 1-11 DYKSTRA C:ON 'T U TERN OFFICE: 519-482-9082 CELL: 519-525-8675 Deputy Mayor John Grace thanked all the volunteers and committee mem- bers for all their effort and hard work. MPP Lisa Thompson and MPP Ben Lobb spoke as well, with Lobb noting if there was a silver lining, it was the job fair the committee was putting on, that showed that even with disasters such as the Great Storm, there are still people with a passion for keeping the marine industry strong. Also on hand was Kirk Jones, vice- president of sustainability, government and industry affairs for Canada Steam- ship Lines, appearing on behalf of former Prime Minster Paul Martin. Jones read a statement written by Martin in which he said though ships made of steel come and go, the lives lost during the storm will be remembered forever. After the speeches were completed and a moment of silence, a new monu- ment acknowledging the Great Lakes Storm of 1913 was unveiled. The monument, which was designed by Keith Homan, one of the honorary co-chairs of the committee, features metal works by James Wallace of Sharp's Creek Forge and stonework by Bryan Stothers & Sons Stonemasonry. It now compliments a sign that was installed in Cannon's Park during the 50th anniversary of the Great Lakes Storm. After the playing of God Save The Queen and retirement of the Colour Parties, many attendees of the cere- mony returned to the legion to enjoy the sounds of the Goderich Harbourai- res Men's Choir. $741.50 + ROYALTIES Looking for Babies, Kids,Teens & Adults for Commercials, Movies, TV Shows and Print. $20 Screen Test includes photo shoot.
