Some Ways to Remember

11/7/2012

Veterans were remembered at the annual “Southwold Remembers”  service on Sunday November 4th at the Keystone Community Complex in Shedden.  

Previous to the ceremony at the Memorial Site, Ted Barris spoke on his book “Days of Victory: Canadians Remember 1939-1945.” This is the sixth time the bestselling author, who has done much to record the stories of Canadian veterans, has participated in the services in Shedden.  

Many ways to remember can be found at http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance.


The Veterans Affairs youtube site includes several videos related to Remembrance Day. The one below is from 2010, commemorating the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands with words from some of the Canadian veterans who took part. 
Every year on Remembrance Day, the Elgin Military Museum, 30 Talbot Street, St. Thomas welcomes visitors free of charge.
