Some Ways to Remember

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.
