Soldiers Remembered

Hundred of residents gathered at cenotaphs across the Rainy River district for Wednesday's Remembrance Day ceremonies.

In Fort Frances, Pastor Barb Miller asked that we never forget the sacrifice soldiers have made.

"May we never forgot the price that men, women and their families have paid so that we can live in freedom," said Miller. "May we generally honour them by working for peace."

Ceremonies were also highlighted by a group of young students from F.H. Huffman School reciting the poem "In Flanders Fields."
