KISBEY - Nora Weightman with the Kisbey branch of the Royal Canadian Legion asked guests to please stand for the marching in of the colours for the start of the Remembrance Day service in the village.
When the time came, David Bennett played his bugle which was followed by two minutes of silence.
Pastor Kevin St. John began the service with a prayer of invocation, followed by a scripture reading from several parts of the Bible.
Weightman welcomed everyone to the service and read the honour roll of over 40 people from the Kisbey area and Pheasant Rump Nakota First Nation who died while serving their country.
This was followed by the laying of the wreaths, which included Mayor Kalvin Nankivell, and immediate past grand exalted ruler of Elks Canada Maurice Koszman.
Craig Bird from the South East Military Museum told the crowd that a bill was passed by the provincial government that people can wear a poppy to their workplace, even if the employer does not agree.
He said Canadians must never forget what veterans have done to preserve freedoms, and someone needs to keep their stories alive.
Bird said people also need to remember our police forces as they too help to keep others safe.
Pastor St. John reminded people that all things are in God’s hands and that He is the only one that has control.
The hyms Eternal Father and Let there be Peace on Earth were sung.
A luncheon was set up by Rebekah Lodge members for those who wished to remain.
