Gleichen remembers

Times Contributor

 

Members of the Gleichen community are making preparations for the annual Remembrance Day celebrations. Many men from the community signed up and went to war for their country over the years.

The ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. in the Gleichen community hall. Father Green will be presiding over the event. They are hoping to have a special speaker, songs from the Gleichen choir, a color guard from the King’s Own regiment on hand, for the placing of the wreaths at the cemetery  cenotaph, which will occur directly after the service. The hall will be open for refreshments in the afternoon. They encourage residents to come out and pay their respects and remember the sacrifices the military men have made in wars past, and contributions of our peacekeepers today.
