Act to provide for an award for exceptional cadets

Preamble

First Nations persons were exempt from conscription, more than 4000 such

persons enlisted in World War I and 3000 enlisted in World War II. Many lost

this, many continued their community service and gave back to their communities

their entire life. Murray Whetung is a Curve Lake First Nations veteran who has

continued to serve his community after returning from service overseas.
