KISBEY - Queen Elizabeth has reminded us that it is our duty to remember those who served and were lost in military service to our country.
Residents of Kisbey and area met this duty at the local cenotaph on Nov. 11, where a brief Remembrance Day 小蓝视频 commemorated the men and women who gave their lives for our way of life.
Nora Weightman of the Kisbey branch of the Royal Canadian Legion led the service and read the roll of honour listing 31 men from the Kisbey area and Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation who were lost in the First and Second World Wars. She also noted that 2021 was the 100th anniversary of the poppy 小蓝视频 worn as a symbol of remembrance in Canada.
Wreaths for the Government of Saskatchewan, the Village of Kisbey, the RM of Brock, the Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation and the Royal Canadian Legion were laid by RCMP Const. Brianna Kisby, Mayor Kalvin Nankivell, administrator Miranda Debusschere, Robert Wright and Legion president Dwayne Weightman.
Honoured veterans in attendance were Albert Hale, John Vouture, Wright and Kisby. Several members of the community observed the 小蓝视频 from their vehicles or in socially distanced groups and members of the Carlyle branch of the Legion were welcomed.
Pandemic measures again prevented a fuller program, but hopes are high that the full traditional service can be restored in 2022.
