Canadians who stayed home during WWII played a valuable role in supporting the war effort. The Inuit people gathered up bones and shipped them south for processing to make cordite, aircraft glue and fertilizer. People worked in factories, in mines, on farms, collected milk weed fluff, knitted socks etc. These people were front line workers and were often thought of poorly. This piece honours their tireless efforts and contributions.
