Padre Donald Edwards

Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

I have studied for many years through several Bible institutes and have had a number those years serving our Lord in ministry. I went on to follow what I believed to be my calling through a healing gift and became a Paramedic. For 32 years I was able to bring comfort and prayers to people having their worse day.

As the Chaplin for a branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and Royal Canadian Naval Association, I believe our veterans should be honoured and that our reputation of being a "kind and friendly" people should not be taken as a sign of weakness. Only our Lord was the other person willing to lay down is life for us.

I performed far too many Veteran funerals in this area. I am privileged to be able to bring assurance to love one's of the fallen and those suffering from PTSD that there's an assurance and hope of life beyond what we see.
