Remembrance day: Dorchester

As Remembrance Day approaches, residents across Tantramar remember and honour those who have served their country.

On November 11, ceremonies provide an opportunity to gather as a community and reflect on the courage and service, and often sacrifice, made by those who serve their country, from veterans, to active military members, and others who have contributed to Canada’s legacy of service.
