The traditional Remembrance Day services are returning to the Cenotaph at McMullen Park in Verona on November 11.

After a break of a few years, local veterans will be able to mark the solemn occasion in Verona once again. The Verona Community Association (VCA) and the Verona Lions Club are helping out with arrangements for the ceremony, and Prince Charles Public School is going to participate as well, as students will be attending the service, which starts at 10:30 a.m.

Leann Benoit, a former Verona resident, has been working behind the scenes to bring the ceremony back to the park.

“It seems like it is all coming together,” she said early this week. “Linda Bates from the VCA has been engaged on this; the school is coming back after holding ceremonies in the gym for a few years, and veterans like Deb and Doug Lovegrove are involved as well. The RCMP, OPP, and the armed forces are all laying wreathes, so we are a go.”

After the ceremony, a reception will be held at Mom Restaurant. All are welcome to attend.
