The importance of remembering our Canadian Veterans
Submitted by Sandra Smith
Kerrobert Legion #88 made several appearances to share the importance of remembering our Canadian Veterans, past, present and future.
We made visits to Major Play Pals and Kerrobert Daycare delivering Poppy stickers, colouring pages and crayon packages.

Kerrobert Composite School invited Legion members to attend a Remembrance Ceremony where the Legion was presented with donations collected from the Grade 5/6 Poppy canvassing. After the ceremony, the winners of the National Youth Remembrance Contest were recognized and presented with cheques.
On Nov.11th Kerrobert Legion held their Remembrance Ceremony with help from the Kerrobert Composite School choir, United Church Lay-worship leader Shauna Meek, RCMP and Private Veronelly. We highlighted the 4 Veterans from our new Banner program and heard a poem written by Myah Seversen that won 3rd at Districts in last years competition. All attending were welcome to join for a light lunch and fellowship after the service.
We are truly thankful for the support shown by members of the community, organizations and businesses which enables us to continue the important work of supporting and honouring Veterans and their families. Lest We Forget
