Allies Come Together For Ceremony To Honour Veterans

Wreaths Across America will honour the service and sacrifice of military veterans from the United States and Canada this Saturday with a wreath exchange on The Ferry Point Bridge.

Executive Director for Wreaths Of America Karen Worcester tells us the mission is to remember the fallen and honour those who serve. The ceremony is scheduled to start at 12:45 Atlantic time.  Following the parade, Cadets will escort the Gold Star Mothers, the Canadian mother of the Silver Cross Families to the center of the bridge for an exchange of wreaths to be placed at the cenotaph Memorial Monument in St. Stephen.

This bridge event will kick off a week full of activities for Wreaths Of America.
