est we forget. The town

of Minnedosa honoured its veterans with
Remembrance Day services. Tanners Crossing
School held their service
on Thursday, November
10th, as the school would
be closed the following
day. The community service was held on November 11th at the Minnedosa
Community and Conference Centre. During each
ceremony, adults and children alike filled the room,
proudly wearing their poppy over their heart.
Each of the two services saw members from
Legion Branch #138 and ladies auxiliary members in
attendance, and they were
marched in at both services
by piper Dan Jardine, who
donned full kilt attire. Our
national anthem was sung
at each, and was followed by
the last post and a moment
of silence to remember all
who fought for the freedom
that we enjoy today. Each
service also included the
presence of RCMP members and the cadets.
At the TCS service, the
two co-presidents of student council, Tyra Miller
and Danielle Brykaliuk,
emceed the ceremony and
called up students from
each class throughout the
service to present. The
presentations ranged from
one or two students to entire classes, and included
poems, songs, and read-

ings. Poems such as Please
Wear a Poppy were read
aloud by students. The presentations of handmade
poppies for each of the Legion and Ladies Auxiliary
members were made by
students in the kindergarten class. Topics that were
also touched on during the

ceremony were the role of

women and nurses in the
two world wars, the contributions of our countrys
Indigenous peoples, as well
as members of Minnedosas community who have
fought in war.
Duane LaCoste, President of the Minnedosa Le-

gion Branch #138, who was

at the TCS service, told The
Tribune, we love going
there, the kids just do an
awesome job, and the little
ones that make the poppies by hand and present
them to us, they do a great
job. He also added that,
