Postcards Evoke Ghosts of WW2 Sacrifices for B.C. Homeowners
- In April 2025, the Juno Beach Centre Association mailed postcards to 1,945 Canadian households, including Metcalf's at 708 Hoover St. In Nelson.
- The postcards paid tribute to nearly fourteen thousand Canadian service members who lost their lives from late 1944 until Victory in Europe Day on May 8, 1945, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the conflict’s conclusion in Europe.
- One postcard was sent to the former McBride family home at 708 Hoover St., where two sons served in Italy and received tragic news more than 80 years ago.
- Kenneth McBride died on September 16, 1944, after his vehicle hit a mine in Italy, and his brother Leigh was critically injured twice and lost an eye.
- The campaign and the home's history reveal ongoing community remembrance of Canadian soldiers, as Metcalf feels each home should narrate its past inhabitants' stories.
