Dartmouth—Cole Harbour is deeply connected to the Canadian Armed Forces, with a proud history of service and military families woven throughout our community.
Despite the cold, seeing Veterans, families and so many young people gathered together at Sullivan’s Pond was a powerful reminder that we do remember.
With the tragedy at CFB Wainwright, we are reminded why this day is so solemn.
We are reminded that whether through training, emergencies, or deployment, Canadian Armed Forces members serve Canadians both here at home and abroad.
From the First and Second World Wars to Korea, Cyprus, Bosnia, the Middle East, Afghanistan and many other missions around the world and here at home, we remember all those who have served and sacrificed, including those we have lost much more recently.
Remembrance is more than a single ceremony or a single day. It lives in the stories we carry forward, the values we uphold and the freedoms we never take for granted.
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.
