Origin
Summary
Joshua Caleb Baker joined the Canadian Armed Forces at age 18 and was killed on duty in Afghanistan on February 12, 2010 at only 24 years of age.
Joshua, his mother and grandmother all grew up on Canlish Road and it is fitting that Joshua's sacrifice be recognized in this way.
A petition of approximately 65 signatures from households on Canlish Road has been submitted to my office in support of ceremoniously dedicating Canlish Road in Cpl. Joshua Caleb Baker's honour.
