As almost always, hundreds of local residents along with several local dignitaries attended the event that included a parade that started at Royal Canadian Legion Colonel Talbot Branch #81 on John Street North and ended at the Cenotaph and War Memorial located next to Town Hall. This year’s ceremony also commemorated the 100th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the First Great War. (AE/Craig Bradford)
