Remembrance Day: Sackville

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.

The Sackville Remembrance Day observance will begin with participants gathering outside the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 26, around 9:30am. A parade will then march to Convocation Hall between 9:30am and 9:40am, arriving for the Remembrance Day service which begins at 10am.

Following the service, participants will form up outside Convocational Hall and march to the Sackville Cenotaph between 10:45 and 10:50am. This will include singing of O Canada, the reading of the Honour Roll, the surrounding of the Last Post, a two-minute silence, and Reveille.

Remarks will be delivered and wreaths and crosses laid by community organizations and dignitaries in remembrance of those who served. Members of the public will also be invited to place wreaths and crosses.

Following the Cenotaph ceremony, participants will march back to the Legion for the traditional “Stand To” gathering. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
