Next week’s Remembrance Day ceremony will look much different than the usual gathering of hundreds of people at Credit Union Place.
Dauphin Legion Padre Steve Wilson says the upcoming ceremony on Wednesday, November 11 at the cenotaph on Memorial Boulevard in Dauphin will be brief and dignified.
“Rather than the usual many many wreaths that are laid — because we can’t do that kind of gathering — there will be one wreath that will be laid to represent all of the people who wish to cherish the memory of our veterans.”
With orange level restrictions limiting gathering sizes in Prairie Mountain Health, the public is encouraged to enjoy the event by watching the live stream video on the Dauphin Legion Facebook page.
“The end goal is to remember those who gave their lives in the service of our country — for us.”
The Remembrance Day Commemoration Service will be also be broadcasted on 730 CKDM.
The ceremony is expected to run between 10:50 a.m. - 11:05 a.m.
“It will be short. It will be simple. It will be dignified. I think it will be an appropriate tribute, given the circumstances and the time,” says Steve Wilson.
