OTTAWA — The Royal Canadian Legion is welcoming back one of the most iconic aspects of Canada’s national Remembrance Day ceremony following a two\u002Dyear hiatus…
Involving veterans of all ages and backgrounds, the parade is one of the most tangible ways for those who have served in uniform to honour fallen comrades —and for Canadians to express appreciation for their service.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
With most provincial and federal pandemic-related restrictions now lifted, however, the Legion is bringing the parade back. “I think about all of the persons that I’ve served with,” he said. “I think about the experiences that I had while serving in the Canadian Forces. I think about the hardship that my family endured while I was away. I think about the ones that didn’t come back.”
“It’s heartbreaking,” he said. “It’s hard because you do form some relationships with the persons that are on parade.” “It is a way to remember her and her service because as we know, she also was a veteran,” Bond said. “She served in the Second World War as an Army mechanic and driver. And we also wish to pay her special respects on that day.”
Bond said there will be security at the site on Remembrance Day for the ceremony, but referred questions about additional measures to police.
