Their work strengthens communities and helps ensure future generations understand the sacrifices made in service to the country, said Holt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of its commitment to recognizing veterans and their contributions, the provincial government will modernize the veterans\u2019 licence plate in partnership with the New Brunswick Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. More details about the updated design will be shared in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe legion\u2019s centenary is an opportunity to celebrate a remarkable legacy and reaffirm our commitment to veterans, active military members, and seniors who have contributed so much to our province and country,\u201d said Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Jean-Claude D\u2019Amours, who is also minister responsible for military affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout its centennial year, the legion is marking this milestone with commemorative events and activities across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Brunswickers are invited to join Canadians from coast to coast in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion.
