From the last Friday of October to November 11, tens of millions of Canadians wear a bright red poppy as a visual pledge to never forget. Monday, the poppy flag was raised at Battleford Town Hall by Mayor Ames Leslie and Battleford Legion Branch 9 President Esther Delainey. This year, leading up to Remembrance Day, Battleford’s main street will feature pennants memorializing local veterans through a program called Honour Our Veterans initiated by the Fred Light Museum. An unveiling event will take place at the Battleford Legion Hall on Friday, Nov. 1 from 2 to 4 p.m. Photo submitted
