Remembrance Day Parade The National Poppy Campaign begins on Friday, October 25, this year and runs until November 11. With assistance from volunteers, members of the legions distribute poppies within the community and local businesses. They give out the poppies for free; however, donations are gratefully accepted and go directly to supporting Canada’s Veterans and their families. This year’s Royal Canadian Legion, Byron-Springbank Branch #533 Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony will be held on Saturday, November 9, at 1:00 pm. The parade route through the community will make a stop at the Byron Memorial Library and the final ceremony will be held at the Legion. The Legion considers a live ceremony honouring our Veterans and their sacrifices very important. Inviting our community is essential in building a future that recognizes our veterans who served and gave their ultimate sacrifice. Ensuring the symbolism of the Legion and community leaders while paying homage to our veterans is more important than ever. This year’s commemoration will include: • Air Cadet Colour Party • Veteran and Legion marching parade • VIPs • 27 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Cadets and NLCC Navy League Cadets • Community Organizations; Byron Ashlar Lodge (Masons Canada), Knights of Columbus, Byron Optimist Club, Byron Scouts and Guides
