Botwood Heritage Society Board Christmas Social

November 11th is Remembrance Day — a time when we remember all those who made the supreme sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. It is also a time to remember those who are currently serving in the Armed Forces and the sacrifices they make every day so we can continue to enjoy these freedoms. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 5 is hosting its annual Remembrance Day Parade & Wreath Laying Ceremony on Friday, 11/11/16 at 11 a.m. at the Cenotaph on Water Street in Botwood. Please join us in remembering! LEST WE FORGET!
