Anything happening at the legislature grounds?
Winnipeg City Hall did NOT put up a Remembrance Day banner this year. Why?
Is there any service being held at the leg?
No Vimy Ridge service this year?
We couldn't find any information online. We will do a final update on Thursday.
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.
Your ad for My Heritage "Canadian" Army Records has a picture of actors in "American" uniforms.
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.
