We will Remember Them, Lest We Forget:
On Monday November 11, we will remember with two minutes of silence and the laying of the wreaths. Join the community members at Monument Corners at 9:30 a.m. and/or the Lion’s Head Cenotaph at 11:00 a.m. Please note the corrected time should be 11:00 a.m. on the November calendar. Family members, friends, neighbours and the school children may join us, weather permitting. There will be cadets planning to attend to assist with the laying of the wreaths. We would encourage you to arrive in advance of these times to be prepared for the parade before the laying of the wreaths.
