Cupids 400 – What's Happening

“Thank You” Reception for Cupids 400

Posted by Crout On October - 31 - 2010

A “Thank You” Reception was held in Legacy Hall of the Cupids Legacy Centre on October 28th. Volunteers and others who were involved in the many Cupids 400 events attended.

The Canadian Navy played a major role in a number of events during Cupids 400, since 2010 was the 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Navy as well as the 400th Anniversary of the Birth of English Canada. Cdr Larry Jones, CO, Canadian Forces Station, St. John’s, presented Roy Dawe, Chair, Cupids 400 with a photo commemorating the announcement of multimillion dollar improvements to CFS St. John’s by Prime Minister Stephen Harper on October 21st.
