  1. Hi Ted,

    Yesterday I received the link to the D Day Tour from the Toronto Firefighters War Veterans Association. I retired as the Fire Chief of the Toronto Fire Services in April 2012 after forty years of service. I am interested in the tour as I am also a CAF Veteran.

    Is there anytime for non military sightseeing on the tour as my wife may come along.

    Thank you for your time.

    Regards

    Bill Stewart

  2. This is a great question. Ted, if you could shed some light on this , it would be much appreciated. Thank you kindly.
