The wind didn’t stop the more than thousand residents gathered for the Remembrance Day Ceremony parade, and Cenotaph Ceremony, paying respects to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we have today.
Members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, firefighters, cadets, Prince George Pipes and Drums, and political figures took part in the ceremony, along with two fly-overs by planes and helicopters.
Following the Ceremony, those who took part were able to leave their poppies at the Cenotaph.
According to Veterans Affairs Canada, Over 66,000 Canadian soldiers lost their lives during the First World War, and over 45,000 during World War II according to The Royal Canadian Legion.
Lest we forget.
