Question: After what date was the "Assiniboine" used to transport returning Canadian servicemen?
Context: The Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment was established by the Dominion Government of Canada in 1918 to handle the major problem of returning Canadian servicemen to civilian life after the First World War.  In 1928 it merged with the Department of Health to form the Department of Pensions and National Health, with its former responsibilities being carried out by the Pensions Division (later Pensions Branch). Victory in Europe Day, generally known as V-E Day, VE Day or simply V Day, was the public holiday celebrated on 8 May 1945 to mark the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces.  It thus marked the end of World War II in Europe. Denman Arena was an indoor arena located in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia.  The arena was located at 1805 West Georgia Street at the northwest corner with Denman Street.  It opened in December 1911 and was destroyed by fire in 1936.  Its primary use was for ice sports such as ice hockey.  It was the home ice rink of the Vancouver Millionaires professional ice hockey team, and was the location of several Stanley Cup championships.  The arena was also used for other sports, musical performances and public assemblies.  It was an assembly point for Canadian servicemen during World War I.  The 10,500 seat arena was the largest in Canada at the time, and introduced mechanically frozen or "artificial" ice to Canada. The Assiniboine language (also known as Assiniboin, Hohe, or Nakota, Nakoda, Nakon or Nakona, or Stoney) is a Nakotan Siouan language of the Northern Plains.  The name Assiniboine comes from the term "Asiniibwaan", from Ojibwe, meaning "Stone Siouans".  The reason they were called this was that Assiniboine people used heated stone to boil their food.  In Canada, Assiniboine people are known as Stoney Indians, while they called themselves Nakota or Nakoda, meaning "allies""."

Dawes Road Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  It is located in Scarborough, on St. Clair Avenue east of Victoria Park Avenue.  Established in 1903, it was the third Jewish cemetery in Toronto.  The first cemeteries, the Pape Avenue Cemetery and Jones Avenue Cemetery, had been established in the eastern part of the city.  Dawes Road Cemetery was also placed in what was then a rural area on the edge of the city.  Since then some 13,000 people have been buried there, including 11 Canadian servicemen of World War II whose graves are registered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. HMS "Comet" was a C-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930s.  She saw service in the Home and Mediterranean Fleets and the ship spent six months during the Spanish Civil War in late 1936 in Spanish waters, enforcing the arms blockade imposed by Britain and France on both sides of the conflict.  "Comet" transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) in 1938 and renamed HMCS "Restigouche".  During World War II, she served as a convoy escort in the battle of the Atlantic, on anti-submarine patrols during the invasion of Normandy, and was employed as a troop transport after VE Day for returning Canadian servicemen, before being decommissioned in late 1945.  "Restigouche" was sold for scrap in 1946. HMS "Kempenfelt" was a C-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930s.  A flotilla leader, she saw service in the Home Fleet before World War II and the ship made several deployments to Spanish waters during the Spanish Civil War, enforcing the arms blockade imposed by Britain and France on both sides of the conflict.  "Kempenfelt" was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) in 1939 and renamed HMCS "Assiniboine".  During World War II, she served as a convoy escort in the battle of the Atlantic, sinking one German submarine by ramming, on anti-submarine patrols during the invasion of Normandy, and was employed as a troop transport after VE Day for returning Canadian servicemen, before being decommissioned in mid-1945.  "Assiniboine" was sold for scrap in 1945, but she ran aground while being towed to the breakers and was not broken up until 1952. HMS "Cygnet" was a C-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930s.  The ship was initially assigned to the Home Fleet, although she was temporarily deployed in the Red Sea during the Abyssinia Crisis of 1935–36.  "Cygnet" was sold to the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) in late 1937 and renamed HMCS "St. Laurent".  She was stationed on the west coast of Canada when World War II began in September 1939, and had to be transferred to the Atlantic coast for convoy escort duties.  She served as a convoy escort in the Battle of the Atlantic and participated in the sinking of two German submarines.  The ship was on anti-submarine patrols during the invasion of Normandy, and was employed as a troop transport after VE Day for returning Canadian servicemen.  "St. Laurent" was decommissioned in late 1945 and scrapped in 1947. Assiniboine Herald of Arms (French: "Héraut Assiniboine" ) is the title of one of the officers of arms at the Canadian Heraldic Authority in Ottawa.  Like the other heralds at the Authority, the name is derived from the Canadian river of the same name.  The design of the badge of office of Assiniboine Herald of Arms is based on the meaning of the word "Assiniboine."
