Remembrance Day Ceremonies

Remembrance Day

If you can get out to a Remembrance Day ceremony this Sunday, make sure you do. I always do my best to get out to a ceremony to pay respects to the veterans who have fought for my freedoms as a Canadian. It's really amazing to think that a complete stranger fought to keep me safe and free. Wear a poppy and never forget.

In Bonnyville there is a ceremony at the Centennial Centre. It is set to start at 10:15. Everyone is asked to be seated at 10:00. Afterwards, the public is invited to a lunch at the New Legion Hall located on the corner of 52nd and 52nd in Bonnyville.

In Cold Lake there are two ceremonies this Sunday

1.  If you're attending the Energy Centre ceremony, you're asked to be seated at 10:30 and following the ceremony everyone is invited to the Cold Lake Legion
2. If you're attending the ceremony at the JJ Parr on base, you're asked to be seated at 10:15
