Thousands attend Remembrance Day ceremony Jessica Cunha

EMC news - Thousands of people gathered at the Kanata Cenotaph on Sunday, Nov. 11, to pay tribute on Remembrance Day. The crowds lined all sides of Colchester Square in Village Green, watching as the members in the parade marched in step to the beat of the drums before lining up in front of the Cenotaph. “I’m glad to see the numbers just from the Kanata area here. It’s certainly a good crowd,” said Ralph Boone, 86. The Katimavik man was in his teens during the Second World War and was in the process of completing officer training when the war ended. A lieutenant in the army cadet corps, Boone was charged with looking after 900 Grade 9 cadets. On Sunday, Boone laid a wreath at the base of the cenotaph on behalf of the Kanata
Seniors Council. “The main thing is to keep remembering,” he said. “We certainly lost a lot of people during the wars. It’s a good idea to keep remembering those people who did die on our behalf.” The Audet family observed the ceremony in memory of their grandfather. “Our grandfather was in World War II,” said 11-yearold Emili Audet, an Orléans resident who attends St. George Catholic School. “It’s a special day for us.” Her grandfather survived the war and would sometimes tell the grandchildren stories, said Alexy Audet, 14, but has passed on. “We like to give thanks,” said Alexy, a Holy Trinity Catholic High School student. Capt. Donald Warner of the Signal Squadron attended the ceremony with his wife Sandra, daughter Emma, 7, and son Jonah, 4. PHOTOS BY JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND
