We're hosting a Halloween Ceilidh fundraiser and would love for you to come!
Flags of Remembrance On Saturday, October 25th, we had the privilege of taking part in Veterans Voices of Canada's Flags of Remembrance ceremony. The event took place on highway 11 just east of Sylvan Lake where 116 Canadian flags were raised in memory of the 116, 000 soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our nation. It was a chilly day, but all those members present were honoured to participate and to pay our respects to Canada's fallen. It was especially poignant given the recent deaths of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and WO Patrice Vincent. The row of flags is a breathtaking sight for those driving by and for those of us who were in attendance at this ceremony. Many thanks to Allan Cameron for founding Veterans Voices of Canada and for organizing this great event.
