Bill 145 2004

An Act to amend the

Public Transportation and

Highway Improvement Act

to name a portion of Highway 62 and

Highway 33 the Hastings and

Prince Edward Regiment

Memorial Highway

Preamble

The United Empire Loyalists who settled in the counties of Hastings and Prince Edward organized the first local militia units for self-defense, with the 1st Regiment of Prince Edward Militia being formed in 1800 and the 1st Regiment of Hastings

Militia in 1804. These Regiments provided units that served in the War of 1812 and the McKenzie Rebellion of 1837-38.

The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment is the modern descendent of these militia units and has seen service in World War 1 at Somme, Arras, Hill 70, Ypres, and numerous other locations. The Regiment mobilized on September 2, 1939, and fought

in Greece, Sicily and Italy, and took an active

part in the liberation of Holland. It earned 31 Battle Honours, at a fearful cost.

It is appropriate to recognize the incredible contribution made by the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment in ensuring that we enjoy the benefits of democracy in our country.

1. The Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act is amended by adding the following section:

and Prince Edward Regiment Memorial Highway and in French as route commémorative Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment.
