(Photo: Theodore Ramharack\/CHMA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A telegram arrived at a family farm in Westcock on Mother&#8217;s Day in 1945. It brought word that Robert, a member of the family serving in Europe during the Second World War, had died. The message was delivered by a man on a bicycle, a detail that Robert&#8217;s family would later share with his nephew, Logan Atkinson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atkinson was born after his uncle&#8217;s death and never knew him personally. But the story of how the family learned what had happened stayed with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It was a very poignant moment, and it was actually on Mother&#8217;s Day in 1945 that the messenger arrived,&#8221; Atkinson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/remem-d232323ay_01.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That family history eventually became part of Sackville&#8217;s veterans&#8217; memorial banner project. Atkinson, a former president of the Tantramar Heritage Trust, submitted Robert&#8217;s story for a banner. Garth Zwicker later brought together the accounts supplied by local families in the book <em>They Live on in Memory: The Tantramar Veterans Banner Project<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atkinson said the project has helped him learn more about people he knew growing up in Sackville. Among the veterans pictured on the banners are relatives and the parents of childhood friends. He remembers those people from everyday life, but didn&#8217;t always know about their military service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We don&#8217;t seem to focus on that service as thoroughly as we ought to, in my opinion,&#8221; Atkinson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also wants people to remember that military service extends beyond the Second World War. He spoke about those who served in Korea, reservists and people who took part in other conflicts, whose experiences are also part of the community&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gary Colwell has his own family connection to wartime service. His father was a sailor during the Second World War, while Colwell spent more than 30 years in the military himself. Although both served at sea, he said the conditions they faced were far from the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I was not at sea when there was U-boats out there and in a wet corvette bouncing around,&#8221; Colwell said. During his own service, he recalled having larger ships, air conditioning and regular meals, comforts that made him conscious of how different things had been for his father&#8217;s generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colwell will be parade marshal in Dorchester this Remembrance Day, helping bring back a procession that the community hasn&#8217;t held for some time. He said Dorchester once had a tradition of Remembrance Day parades, but he hasn&#8217;t seen one during the roughly 12 years he has lived there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plan is for participants to assemble at the new fire station before making their way to the cenotaph, weather permitting. Colwell isn&#8217;t sure how many people will turn out. He said there might be five or there might be 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m proud to be able to do it if I can,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Sackville, Victor Sears has spent approximately 27 years with Royal Canadian Legion Branch 26 and now serves as co-chair of its Poppy Campaign. Over that time, he has known veterans who rarely spoke about their wartime experiences, including people whose injuries continued to affect them long after their service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military service has also touched Sears&#8217; own family. He spoke about relatives he has lost and said he would do whatever he could to help veterans who need support. At the Sackville cenotaph, he has another way of honouring those who served: reading the honour roll, a duty he has carried out for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Every Remembrance Day I do the honour roll at our cenotaph, and every time I do the honour roll, I usually tear up a little bit,&#8221; Sears said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sears enjoys seeing the remembrance-themed posters children produce and believes young people should have more opportunities to learn about military history. He also hopes to see more residents attend the ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I wish more people would come out and support our veterans,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atkinson remembers watching his father march through Sackville when he was a child, alongside what seemed to him like hundreds of veterans wearing their medals. The procession travelled through town to the Remembrance Day service and back to the cenotaph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Sackville, Wednesday&#8217;s Remembrance Day service begins at 10 a.m. at Mount Allison University&#8217;s Convocation Hall. A parade will then proceed to the cenotaph, where the honour roll will be read and wreaths laid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Dorchester, participants will assemble at the new fire station at 10:30 a.m. for the weather-permitting parade, ahead of the 10:45 a.m. ceremony at the Dorchester cenotaph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There aren&#8217;t too many things in our lives that we can legitimately say are shared experiences, and Remembrance Day captures one of those things, and these shared experiences bind us together as a community,&#8221; Atkinson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:28% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-dominant-color=\"7a6c63\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7a6c63;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1.avif\" alt=\"lk;k;lk\n\" class=\"wp-image-83784 size-full not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1.avif 810w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-600x600.avif 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-300x300.avif 300w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-768x768.avif 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Theodore Ramharack<\/strong> holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Western University and a diploma in Broadcast Journalism.
