More than a thousand gather in the rain for Remembrance Day in Prince George

More than a thousand people braved the rain at the Cenotaph in front of Prince George City Hall this morning (Monday) to pay their respects to those who fought for and continue to fight for our freedom.

Military members, RCMP, firefighters, cadets, Prince George Pipes and Drums, and political figures all took part in the ceremony, as citizens were backed up all the way to the steps of City Hall.

Nearly 620,000 Canadians served in World War I, and over 66,000 Canadian soldiers died.

Over 1.1 million Canadians served in World War II, and over 44,000 Canadian soldiers died.

Lest we forget.
