North Island-Powell River MP and NDP critic for veterans affairs Rachel Blaney is encouraging constituents to honour Remembrance Day in their windows and yards, as well as on their jackets this year.
Blaney has decorated the window of her constituency office in Campbell River with images of poppies and the words “lest we forget” in front of a Canadian flag and is encouraging others to do the same and to share their tributes on social media.
“Remembrance Day is a very important annual event in our communities,” stated Blaney in a media release. “Since we’re not able to gather at cenotaphs and legion halls to share in our remembrance this year, we need to mark the day in other ways.”
On November 11, Blaney will be laying a wreath at the Campbell River cenotaph as part of a small ceremony.
