Vets Speak Out

Military veterans are speaking out against the planned closure of some Veterans Affairs Offices in Canada.

The office in Thunder Bay is among them.

Second world war vet Roy Lamore says refocusing some the government's current spending could help keep the office open.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada says closure of the Thunder Bay office will force veterans from northwestern Ontario having to access services in Kirkland Lake which has experienced its own staff cuts.
