Retired Brigadier-General Vincent Kennedy was instrumental in planning and organizing the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry’s (PPCLI) centennial celebrations in 2014. His vision was realized with a cross-Canada relay race, a travelling exhibition of historical relics, and a tour of European battlefields upon which many of the Regiment’s first members lost their lives. His decade of planning ensured the Regiment’s storied history was celebrated and preserved for a new generation.
