Bruce Reeves was very honoured when artist Karen Bailey recognized him for his dedication to his patients in Afghanistan and therefore added his likeness within the Official Portrait of the Governor-General Michael Jean. The portrait is housed in the Governor General’s mansion Rideau Hall in Ottawa, Ontario. He commenced his bucket list of items with a 'road' trip to Ottawa to be photographed with this painting. He was so very proud of this moment. (J.A. Snow Funeral Home, Halifax, Nova Scotia)
