Hundreds gather at Gore Park Cenotaph for Hamilton’s Remembrance Day service

Hundreds gathered at the Gore Park Cenotaph for the City of Hamilton’s annual Remembrance Day service.

The cenotaph at Gore Park honours those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the First and Second World Wars, as well as those in the Korean and Afghanistan wars.

Wednesday’s ceremony also honoured the four lives lost in the fire at CFB Wainwright in Alberta last month.

“Our anthem begins, ‘O Canada! Our home and native land!’ Perhaps that was their answer. Home, the faces they loved, the hope that future generations might grow old in peace,” said Capt. Padre Yuri Hladio, a military chaplain in the Canadian Armed Forces Army Reserves.

The Dundas Concert Band performed the national anthem.

Hamilton Centre MPP Robin Lennox and mayor-elect Keanin Loomis were in attendance.
