The Start

Behind the Scenes
Written By Trevor Godinho

For those that don’t know I have a special place in my heart for the men and women that sacrifice so much for our country, and if you do not know whom I’m talking about, I’m talking about our military.

This weekend I embarked on the first step of the project which I aim to complete in the next few years. The Honour Country Sacrifice Project when completed will include over 400 portraits and audio bites. The aim is to have this body of work exhibited across Canada as a tribute to those that give so much.

Thank you to Edmund Chen for helping connect me to so many amazing Canadians, Giancarlo Pawelec for allowing me access to your studio (Studio311) and Parveen Dhanoa for helping me produce and assist me on this journey.

Pour ceux qui ne le savent pas, j'ai une place spéciale dans mon cœur pour les hommes et les femmes qui font tant de sacrifices pour notre pays, et si vous ne savez pas de qui je parle, je parle de nos militaires.

Ce week-end, j'ai entamé la première étape du projet que je compte mener à bien dans les prochaines années. Une fois terminé, le projet "Honour Country Sacrifice" comprendra plus de 400 portraits et extraits audio. L'objectif est d'exposer cet ensemble d'œuvres à travers le Canada en hommage à ceux qui donnent tant.

Merci à Edmund Chen de m'avoir aidé à rencontrer tant de Canadiens extraordinaires, à Giancarlo Pawelec de m'avoir permis d'accéder à votre studio (Studio311) et à Parveen Dhanoa de m'avoir aidé à produire et à m'assister dans cette aventure.
