Feb 24, 2022 | 4:53 PM

A Manning RCMP Public Servant employee has presented a Quilt of Valour, which she made herself, to a local Veteran.

Raylene Landry, who is also a representative of the Quilts of Valour Canada, gave the quilt to local Veteran Jean (Johnny) Daigle back on January 27. Members of the Manning RCMP and Manning Legion Branch also attended to honour Daigle.

The organization started in Canada back in 2006 and worked to provide quilts to injured Canadian Armed Forces members who returned from deployment in Afghanistan

The program has since grown to gain more volunteer quilters. To date, 18,230 quilts have been presented on behalf of the organization across Canada.

Landry has been a volunteer representative for Quilts of Valour Canada since September 2020 and has presented two quilts personally to Veterans.
