Further to the Chester NS Incident an apology from a TV Film Company. Thanks to the Military M/C Men of NS for checking this tragedy out. The Legion and the town councillor who authorised this outrage should be sacked: ‘We do remember them’ Nova Scotia’s South Shore has been an amazing host to a lot of television productions over the years. That has continued with the television series Haven. During our three seasons of production, we have worked diligently to maintain positive community relations and foster goodwill. Goodwill we value beyond measure. Earlier this month, the Haven “Action Unit” filmed an exterior scene at the Chester Parade Square that was scripted as a festive Haven homecoming rally. In an inexcusable lapse of judgment, the Chester Cenotaph was “dressed” for the scene with beads and boas, pompoms and toy flags. I want to formally apologize to everyone in the community for the disrespectful manner in which the Cenotaph was treated that day. Most especially, I want to apologize to the men and women who gave their lives protecting this country, and whose honour and valour the Cenotaph memorializes. Each and every one of us owes the perpetuation of our liberty and democracy to their sacrifice. They are the reason we are free. The Cenotaph is sacred ground and should not have been used for cinematic effect. We will strike all offending Cenotaph footage from the episode. We do remember them. David MacLeod, Executive Producer, Haven 3 Productions (N.S.) Inc.
