We live in moose country, he said.

Ottenheimer also promised that if he becomes premier, he will make 2016 a Come Home Year.

That year is the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Beaumont Hamel, the year that the Colonial Building restoration will be completed and the 50th anniversary of the first Come Home Year organized by Joey Smallwood.

Ottenheimer promised new Come Home Year licence plates, saying he can already see in his mind what theyll look like.

Ottenheimer could not give any sense of how much money it would cost to do the Come Home Year or the moose prevention efforts.
