County museum hosts Remembrance events
ABOYNE – The County of Wellington is inviting the public to two events to honour the war contributions of local individuals.
On Nov. 5 at 10:30am, people can join members of the Royal Canadian Legion on the front lawn of the Wellington County Museum and Archives for a public remembrance ceremony to honour the fallen from Wellington County.
More than 500 memorial markers will be place on the lawn in advance of the event, commemorating the contributions of those who died in conflicts from the First World War to Afghanistan.
On Nov. 10 at 5:30pm, people are invited to help place candles in tribute on each of the memorial markers.
“This informal and poignant tribute takes place at dusk on Nov. 10 and the candles will remain lit until Nov. 12,” the event announcement reads.
Candles will be provided by the museum.
