If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the saints
And all the prophets?

3) Beaver
4) Gray Squirrel
5) Lobster
6) Raccoon

8) White-tailed Deer
9) other

These were my favourite kinds of days in high school. I still remember coming up to UNB for a math competition in junior high, and then being given physics and chemistry demonstrations by faculty.

The HMCS Ontario left Hong Kong at the end of October 1945, and steamed back to Canada across the Pacific. They arrived at Esquimalt on 27 November 1945. My grandfather then took a train across the country back to Halifax. His war was over.

The Kowloon Clock Tower is still there today. The train station was torn down in 1977 but the clock was preserved. It's a tourist attraction and a heritage landmark today. The clocks have remained in operation since 1945, thanks to the young men of the Royal Canadian Navy.

British civil authorities requested help restarting the clock tower. The HMCS Ontario sent their electrical team (including my 19-year old grandfather) to repair the tower. The team were able to restart the clock and restore operation after 44 months of occupation.

Canadian sailors also began to repair facilities in the city. One example was the Tsim Sha Tsui clock tower in Kowloon. It was originally part of a train station built in 1916. The tower sustained damage during the Japanese invasion and had not operated since 1941.

The city was in a bad way. The Japanese had stripped the city of war material. The population was starving. The British did what they could to restore order. Canadian sailors from the HMCS Ontario led armed patrols through the city.
