  • I'm disappointed to see the service at Vimy Ridge Memorial Park is not listed here, which makes be believe other services are probably also not included.

  • Would have been a thoughtful gesture and a kind thing to make all buses free for everyone on November 11th in Winnipeg and beyond. Also to have a sheltered area at services . Many hundreds would love to attend ,especially those of us who have lived through wars. Many are now alone,
    pensioners but well aware of the sorrow war still presents today.
