YOU ARE INVITED: MONDAY, AUGUST 4 at 11:00 A.M.
PLEASE JOIN US AT THE DEDICATION CEREMONY OF WHAT WILL BE A HISTORIC DAY IN WHEY-AH-WICHEN /CATES PARK IN NORTH VANCOUVER.
Exactly 100 years prior Canada became involved in the First World War. Branch #114 is spearheading this memorial cairn dedication ceremony.
This will likely be your only chance in life to witness a cairn dedication and it’s also a great opportunity to pay tribute to those who laid down their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today.
‘At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.’
Witness a part of history as a unique carved jade stone memorial is unveiled; a monument constructed to honour those who’ve given their lives for our freedom.
Experience the Colour Parade, as flags of our nation are marched in tribute. You will hear guest speakers immortalize those who have served by dedicating this sculpture to their memory.
The service will be accompanied music; songs of tribute by a soloist and a North Shore choir.
A light reception will be held outdoors after the ceremony.
Our thanks to the Federal Government, Tsleil-Waututh Nation and District of North Vancouver for their support in making the monument and Dedication Ceremony possible
Sincerely,
Bill Calder, President
