Canada Post unveiled a new stamp honouring a Manitoba-born First Nations war hero, Sgt. Tommy Prince.
A ceremony was held on Monday at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights to unveil the stamp and remember the man who was a member of Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, about 65 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg.
In 1944, during his service in the Second World War, Prince endured a gruelling trek across rugged terrain to locate an enemy camp, travelling without food or water for 72 hours. "This goes to show his dedication and willpower ... Think about what it took to do that as an individual," Bluesky said at the ceremony.
"I would just like to say thank you for honouring my deceased father," Prince Jr. said at the ceremony.
