November is a time to reflect on Canada’s heroes, the ones who have fought for the country’s freedoms and put others above themselves.
It’s a time when Legions across the country run Poppy Campaigns to help give back to those who have given so much and remind Canadians of what has been lost so that they can live.
With Remembrance Day next Thursday, November 11, the Town of Caledon’s first Remembrance Day service took place Sunday, October 31, at the Cenotaph in Caledon East.
“Every year brings up so many emotions for me, from sadness to admiration to a feeling of deep respect and immeasurable gratitude,” said Mayor Allan Thompson. “After the service I was honoured to be invited to join representatives of the Royal Canadian Legion for a quieter and more contemplative wreath laying at the cenotaph in Mono Mills.”
There are three more upcoming Remembrance Day services in Caledon this November with COVID protocols in place to ensure the safety of those in attendance.
On Sunday, November 7 at 10:15 a.m. the Alton Legion Hall will be hosting its service, also on Sunday, November 7 at 12:30 p.m. will be the Bolton service at the Bolton Cenotaph.
There will also be a Town staff service at Caledon East Cenotaph on Thursday, November 11 at 10:50 a.m. that will be open to the public.
