Manitoba memorial features named after WWII casualties
A new scaled base map of Manitoba marks six features named for local WWII dead: Brad Lake for Harold Brad, Clark Hill for Clarence Clark, Clark Esker for James Clark, Finkbeiner Lake for Clarence Finkbeiner, Iverach Creek for Jack Iverach, and Norrie Island for George Norrie. The map will be hung in the hall amid a flurry of Easter weekend visits and family gatherings across Manitoba and nearby provinces.
