Local dignitaries including Lakeshore mayor Tracey Bailey and Deputy Mayor Kirk Walstedt along with were in attendance. He emphasized the need to remember veterans: “Our commitment to honouring our Veterans ensures future generations understand the cost of our nation’s peace and security. To our Veterans and their families, thank you.”

Mayor Bailey echoed these sentiments, urging the community to reflect on the meaning of the day. “Your sacrifice, your service, and your love of country continue to inspire all of us to be better citizens and stronger communities. With our busy lives, it is easy to overlook the significance of Remembrance Day, but it remains vital that we pause and reflect on the dedication of those who have selflessly served our nation,” Bailey said.

“Remembrance Day, along with ceremonies like these, also remind us of our collective responsibility of preserving the principles and values that make up the fabric of our nation. Today, we remember those who have upheld these values around the world; on battlefields and at home. We thank you for your service. We thank you for your sacrifice. We will remember you.”
