Blooming Ceremony

5/18/2016

May 18th 2016 Mrs. Dunfield and her grade 4 class, Members of Communities in Bloom Sussex  and 8th Hussars Museum gathered at the Dutch Canadian Friendship Garden that we planted  last fall at Town Hall to take photographs. The tulip bulbs were provided by Vesey's.

In 2015 The Town of Sussex was honored to have been selected through an application from Communities in Bloom to help celebrate  the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of The Netherlands.
As Canada’s major importer of Dutch Bulbs, Vesey’s recognized that a celebration of the very special 70th anniversary ending WW2 was incredibly important and should not pass by without their involvement.


Since Vesey’s customers are spread across the entire nation, the company wanted to make this a truly Canadian Gift. To accomplish this goal, they made available 140 tulip gardens, each containing 700 red & white tulips, to various communities across Canada.

To complete the obligation to Vesey's below are photographs of the gardens today, Beautiful !!  We  are very Proud of the Gardens.

    Welcome to the 8th Hussars Museum
         The 8th Hussars Museum is located in the historic Train Station in Sussex, NB. The building has been restored to its original grandeur and is situated in the hub of the Town of Sussex. The Victorian-era structure houses many of the important artifacts of the museum and is accessible to the general public.  Since the later part of the 19th century, countless Hussars arrived by rail to train at Camp Sussex and later to serve in the South African War, WWI and WWII.

    The collection includes many items representing the life of the Regiment with original uniforms dating back to 1881, original Routine Orders dating back to 1893, memorabilia from members who represented the Regiment at Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, WWI, WWII, UN/NATO peacekeeping tours as well as the Afghanistan engagement.  Of particular interest are the flags from each of these eras.  The Museum also proudly holds the original accouterments of HRH The Princess Royal who is Colonel Commandant of the Regiment
