Canadian deaths in Afghanistan surpass 100

Canada's death toll in Afghanistan surpassed the grim milestone of 100 on Friday after a roadside bomb killed three soldiers. Brig. Gen. Denis Thompson, Canada's top military commander in Afghanistan, said the soldiers were riding in an armored vehicle on patrol west of Kandahar city when they struck an improvised explosive device.
Canada has now lost 100 soldiers and one diplomat in Afghanistan since it first sent troops there after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

One of the three soldiers killed on Friday was W.O. Rob Wilson, son of 60’s Shilobrat alumni Doug Wilson (deceased) Doug Wilson is listed on our Remembering page with no information as yet. If anyone with information regarding year of passing, names of brothers and sisters, or a photo, school or otherwise. Please contact Lynn (Davis) Jackson, email is on What’s New page.

How sad it is another Shilo Brat passes on. Dave was a great guy. We had a Mini Reumion a few years ago in Renfrew, for Eastern Ontario Brats and Dave and Jackie were there. It was great to see him after 40 some years. My deepest sympathy goes out to Jackie and The Findlay Family.

He will surely be missed by many Shilo Brats

I don't remember Dave Findlay, but I wonder if the Mrs. Findlay that lived on Sapper in the early sixties and taught me piano was his mother.

So everyone is still holding their breath waiting for the Skink Vote to be revealed in the coming What's New...well, I can't wait either!

'Shilo' will become the name for ShiloBrats mascot, Errol Bredin narrowed the name suggestions down to two meaningful choices to vote on. ‘Ivan’ and ‘Shilo’ and after the vote (most voted through the Contact page) ‘Shilo’ narrowly won out. Comments were made during the vote regarding gender or naming it after a specific person that many Shilobrats may not have had the privilege of knowing. There was a consideration of keeping both names, and having a male and female mascot representative. In the end, Errol replied “I feel, after reading all the great comments, that Shilo is perfect”

I also wish to add my condolences to the Findlay family, I remember as 14 year olds, Dave and I were junior golfers and spent every day of our summer breaks on the Shilo golf course. A real role model, Dave could par the course at 14.

I guess it's too late to add my vote for the skink--has it been decided? I would have voted for Ivan too. I've been away for a few weeks on an optometric mission with the Third World Eyecare Society to Olongapo in the Philippines, doing free eye exams and giving donated eyeglasses to needy people, so I missed the campaign.
