A commemorative dedication ceremony will be held at the new Lest We Forget Crosswalk in Kemptville leading up to Remembrance Day.
Veterans and members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 212 Kemptville are being invited to take part in the ceremony on Sunday afternoon, alongside Mayor Nancy Peckford, North Grenville Council, and members of the community.
A Veterans Contingent will form up at 1:45 p.m. on the east sidewalk of Prescott Street at Reuben Crescent South in preparation for a Veterans Walk across the newly installed crosswalk.
Following the crossing, the Veterans will proceed along the west sidewalk of Prescott Street to the Kemptville Cenotaph, where the official ceremony will be held.
Dignitaries, Legionnaires, family, friends, and members of the general public are invited to gather on the grounds of the Kemptville Cenotaph to await the arrival of the Veterans contingent and the commencement of the official ceremony at 2 p.m.
The Lest We Forget Crosswalk, funded by the Municipality of North Grenville, stands as a permanent symbol of gratitude and remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, in Canada’s Armed Forces.
