11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month. Remembrance Day 2015

A message from the Port Moody Legion:

We, at the Port Moody Legion #119 are very proud of the efforts and respect that we put forth to honour our Veterans and their families on this very special day of Remembrance.  Although we are currently closed for redevelopment, we must and shall continue the tradition to mark this very important day.

Over 500 Cadets, Scouts, Girl Guides and Brownies join our Colour Party, Veterans, Legion members and First Responders to participate in the parade around the block to ultimately stop at the cenotaph for the official Act of Remembrance and the Two-Minute Silence followed by the laying of the wreaths.  We are extremely fortunate to have the world famous Simon Fraser Pipe and Drum Band parade every year; this being the only Legion in Canada to present a 21-Gun Cannon salute, performed by the Seymour Artillery.

An invitation is extended to all to attend the November 11th Act of Remembrance and festivities at the Port Moody Legion and Kyle Centre.
