J. A. Heffernan, M.S.M.
ST. JOHN’S, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR
After a fire destroyed the historic Church Lads’ Brigade (CLB) Armoury in 1992, J. A. Heffernan’s leadership and perseverance led to the construction of an identical building exactly two years later. The renewed facility enables young corps members to follow in the footsteps of previous generations of the CLB, contributing to Newfoundland and Labrador’s proud military heritage.
