Wawa, Chapleau & Canada Mark Remembrance Day

People across Canada and beyond are stopping to remember veterans and the fallen, as Remembrance Day is here.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 429 Poppy Campaign Chairman Larry Harvey outlines plans for Wawa's ceremony, which will be held at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre starting at 11:00 am.

Harvey further reminds everyone to wear a poppy, noting funds raised through donations to the Poppy Fund support veterans and more.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, and the 75th anniversary of the start of the Korean War.

Chapleau's ceremony will be held as usual, starting at 10:45 am, though Royal Canadian Legion Harry Searle Branch 5 will also be hosting a turkey dinner tonight at 5:00 pm.
