Fern Taillefer’s devotion to King and Country remains as strong as it was when he began his service at the age of 18. He served in the Canadian Armed Forces from 1974 to 1996 in Egypt, Israel and in NATO overseas missions before returning to Canada in 1987. Since his retirement, he has dedicated his life to serving those who served. He is a “go to” person for Veterans requiring assistance with benefits and navigating Veterans Affairs Canada. Fern spearheaded the creation of Peacekeepers Park, established in 2011 in Angus, Ontario, near CFB Borden. It features the names and faces of the Peacekeepers who died on United Nations and other peacekeeping missions.
