A signature in a collection of autographs reveals a story of Indigenous service that extends from Australia to Canada and Trinidad.
The legacy of Indigenous Australian service in the First World War has long been overlooked, in part due to wartime policies that initially restricted service to those of ‘substantially European’ descent. Australia had been settled on the legal fiction of
terra nullius, which ignored the rights of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who had inhabited the land for thousands of years. Indigenous Australians were not recognised as full citizens until 1967. As a result, attestation papers rarely explicitly referred to a soldier as ‘Indigenous’. Some recruits were rejected because of their race, but other enlistment papers refer obliquely to a recruit’s ‘dark complexion’.
Here is a sign that winter is starting to wind down: spring weight restrictions for truck traffic will soon arrive on New Brunswick roads.
The province says restrictions will begin at midnight on Feb. 28 in southern regions and at midnight on March 7 in the north.
Transportation Minister Jill Green said seasonal weight limits allow them to protect our infrastructure during freeze-thaw cycles.
“We appreciate our industry partners’ patience and co-operation in reducing loads and planning alternate routes during this period,” Green said in a news release.
Restrictions will continue until May 16 in the south and May 23 in the north, but those dates could change depending on weather conditions.
Snow fell in parts of New Brunswick Saturday with more expected into the evening.

Snow fell in parts of New Brunswick throughout the day Saturday.
Environment Canada forecasted between 15 and 25 centimetres of snow to fall over the southern part of the province, an amount it described as significant.
With snow expected most of the day, a reminder to reduce your speed, make sure your lights are on, phone down, plenty of room for braking and make sure your vehicle is cleaned off before travelling. Be safe!—@saintjohnpolice
