CASCADING POPPIES FOR REMEMBRANCE DAY

CASCADING POPPIES FOR REMEMBRANCE DAY IN COLDWATER

Coldwater is ready for Remembrance Day!  As in previous years, local Veterans banners are displayed in store-front windows along the street.  And for the first time, beautiful Cascading Poppies installations have appeared outside the branch, the Cenotaph, the Library, and even along the sides of the bridge by the Mill.   Thank you to Gail Burns and Branch member Wanda Beaudoin for coordinating the project and inspiring the dozens of volunteers who knitted and crocheted the thousands of Poppies used in the installations. And thank you to Brian Judges and Penny Lawrence-Judges and their team for their work on the military silhouettes featured at the front of our building.

REMEMBRANCE DAY COMING UP

With the annual Poppy Campaign in full swing, Branch 270 Coldwater is in the last stage of preparation for events during Veterans Week and Remembrance Day.  Comrades, now is the time to do your part as members of the Royal Canadian Legion.  Please come in the branch (or go on-line) and sign-up for a shift or two of tagging at a location around town.  All we need from you is an hour or two with a tray full of Poppies.  No uniform required.

On Wednesday November 11, you may join us to pay tribute to our Fallen at Coldwater's Remembrance Day ceremony. The Parade will form-up in front of the arena at 10:30 a.m. and march through Michael Anne Drive, Gray Street, and Coldwater Road, to end at the Cenotaph by the Legion for the Remembrance ceremony. A contingent of serving military personnel from CFB Borden will join the parade.  Light lunch will be served inside the Legion after the parade.  If you wish to lay a wreath in memory of a Veteran during the Remembrance Day ceremony, please order your wreath prior to Friday November 6.
