Take Time To Remember….
Prince George, B.C.- A reminder that if you plan to attend the Remembrance Day Service at the Civic Centre in Prince George this morning, you are asked to be seated by no later than 9:15. The service will start at 9:30.
The march to the cenotaph will take place between 10:30 and 10:45, which will be followed by the laying of wreaths.
Premier Christy Clark has issued the following Remembrance Day message:
"For Canadians, November 11 is a solemn day when we honour and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and freedom.
"Almost 100 years ago, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote the poem, In Flanders Fields. He was struck by the flowers that grew among the countless graves of his friends. It’s a reminder of the incredible dedication shown by the men and women of our armed forces, both then and today.
"We honour their memory by preserving what they fought for – peace, freedom, and Canada, a place where differences are settled not with violence, but with discussion and democracy. We will never forget."

Regardless of your feelings on the politics or the military today is a day to remember those that died and those that lived from the Boer war to Hong Kong to Dieppe to Korea to Afghanistan
Lest We Forget
And dont forget we are all Veterans and not “Legionnair’s”
Cheers
Its a shame they put up this big monument and you cant read the names if the veterans that are inscribed on it.Most monuments have brass plates with the veterans name on it.
Brass plates will be stolen for scrap. Will you settle for “high grade” plastic plates?
