Next Remembrance Day Could Be At Qplex

Remembrance Day in the valley could be a lot different next year.

The Royal Canada Legion Branch #58 are asking Quispamsis Council for use of the Qplex for future veteran day ceremonies.


Gordon Friars, former president and member of the legion, tells Tide news venues like the  Kings Valley Wesleyan and the Island View Lions Club are now to small for the growing number of people attending the ceremonies. 


Friars says between veterans, police, fire, scouts and the general public, it won't take long to fill the Qplex. He says it would also give people in the valley a chance to stay in their community instead of going to Harbour Station. 


Quispmasis Council is scheduled to make a decision on Tuesday.
