In Kitimat, as happened across the country on November 11. 2014, there was a larger turnout than usual at the Remembrance Day service, as people reflected on the recent events, the deaths of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, as well as the fact that Canadian Forces are in action against the Islamic State in Iraq.

Geese

As in previous years, the fly past over the cenotaph came from the wild, migrating geese.

A new tradition…

poppyonpoppy

For the past several years, there’s been a tradition that began at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa, people leave their poppies at the cenotaph. Here in Kitimat, people are now pinning their poppies to the wreathes that were laid at the cenotaph a few minutes earlier. (Robin Rowland)

Remembrance Day, Kitimat, BC, Nov. 11, 2010

239-kitimatremembrance2010.jpgSnow
began falling in Kitimat, BC, for the first time this winter, at about 9
in the morning Pacific Time. and by the time the residents gathered 90
minutes later for the Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph, it was
still snowing. A photo gallery of a small town Remembrance ceremony.  In
Kitimat, children lay the wreathes for those who cannot attend, which
is why I call this image, Passing the Torch.
