Towns, villages, and cities across Canada gathered at local cenotaphs on Wednesday to mark Remembrance Day, and Midwestern Ontario was no different.
Ceremonies were held all across Bruce, Grey, Perth, Huron, and Wellington counties, where community members and Legion branches came together to honour those who gave their lives in the First World War, Second World War, the Korean War, Afghanistan, and peace keeping missions all over the world.
In Listowel, people gathered at the cenotaph on Wallace Avenue, across from the municipal office, to observe two minutes of silence along with the annual reading of "Flanders Fields", the poem penned by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae.
Ceremonies were also observed in the communities of Wingham, Lucknow, Kincardine, Hanover, Goderich, Paisley, Chesley, Ripley, Clinton, Owen Sound, Wiarton, Meaford, Southampton, Stratford, Mount Forest, Arthur, Harriston, Palmerston, Lion's Head, Flesherton, and Markdale, and more.
