(7/7) Finally, for my "Military Health Matters" column, I had the honour to interview Canadian Armed Forces veteran and all-round inspiration, Kate MacEachern of Antigonish, N.S. - my own hometown. Annie joined me for the in-person interview, again taking incredible photos.

(6/7) The hardest piece to write in the Jan. /Feb. 2026 issue was, undoubtedly, my tribute to the late, great Dr. Tim Cook of the Canadian War Museum. He may no longer be with us, but his legacy will forever endure.

(5/7) My coverage of Ottawa's CIMVHR 2025 forum is also within these pages, where I highlight the latest research into the health and wellbeing of veterans and serving military members. I look forward to attending again in Halifax in 2026.

(4/7) For Remembrance Day 2025, I travelled to Oromocto, N.B., to see how a military town pauses to honour service and sacrifice. My feature offers an insight into that commemoration. Annie was there with me and took some extraordinarily moving photographs.

(3/7) My most recent "Artifact" piece details the Canadian-built Ram tank and its use, in various forms, during the Second World War. For those currently unfamiliar with its story, you'll find one or two surprises within.

(2/7) This issue likewise marks the first time that my previously online-only department, "The Briefing," appears in print. Here, I interview British-born Canadian veteran George Beardshaw - who is also thought to be the last living Home Child - about his WW II service.
