Lest We Forget - Remembrance Day Victoria 2009


Over the years the men and women of our Canadian Forces have fought wars and taken on roles as peacekeepers all over the world. The freedoms they fought for and protected have given us a quality of life that no other country in the world has. We are very lucky indeed and have much to be thankful for. Thanks to all....


The photo above was taken in Veteran's Memorial Park in Langford. The park was so full of people I waited till the end of the ceremony to take this picture of the wreaths placed in honor of the fallen. A number of events like this took place all across Greater Victoria and all were well attended giving tribute to the women and men of the Canadian Forces.

If you are visiting Victoria, when you are in the Inner Harbour, you will see on of the memorials on the grounds of our Provincial Legislature just across the street from the inner harbour. Take a moment to reflect.
