Moment of silence observed in Oakville.
Today on November 11, a pause for silence was observed in many parts of Oakville commemorating Remembrance Day and remembering our fallen heroes who helped to give us the freedoms we rely on today.
Some community locations are holding memorials and exhibits. The 2010 Remembrance Day Ceremony and Exhibit in Oakville is being held at the Oakville Museum at Erchless Estate on 8 Navy Street in Downtown Oakville. The Exhibit is called the Shadows of War Exhibit and will continue throught November 21, 2010.
This exhibit focusses on the participation of Oakville residents in the two World Wars. There are military uniforms, pictures and memoribilia. Further information is available at the Oakville Museum website (oakvillemuseum.ca).
Today at 10:30 there was a veterans march from Bronte Legion that proceeded to the Bronte Cenotaph on Lakeshore Rd. W. The two minutes of silence was observed at George's Square at 11 a.m. which culminated in a wreath laying ceremony.
Our Towne and Province is proud of the men and women that served this country and we are thankful for all we have today as a result of their valient efforts.
