Port Perry, Ontario
Mr. Kerr is a retired major of the Canadian Forces who served during the Second World War. Mr. Kerr was also an aide de camp to two former lieutenant governors of Ontario. In 1999, under the auspices of the Dominion Institute, Mr. Kerr began speaking to countless publics and high school students in the Greater Toronto Area about the sacrifices of Canadians in war. In 2005, Mr. Kerr sensed a waning interest among the youth he spoke to, so he decided to produce a DVD of the Canadian Forces in action. He viewed more than 100,000 feet of film at the Library and Archives in Ottawa and ultimately was able to produce a DVD which commanded the attention of youth. The DVD was also made available to Veterans as well as Legion branches, where it has been shown to hundreds of school children, service clubs and other organizations across Canada. A tremendous amount of effort and time was involved in assembling details, photos, etc., in order to produce this first-class DVD which honours the Canadian Forces.
