Remembrance Day is this Friday, and will be the open to the public for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

 

Captain Dan Colosie, organizer of the local service, has the details.

 

“The Remembrance Day commemorative services returning to an in-person format at the Thompson Regional Community Centre which also means we are pleased to open this service back up to the public in the way that it was before COVID-19. The service will also be recorded and broadcast for those who wish to participate from their homes and Paul from Shaw has agreed to do a live broadcast for us as well so that people can participate fully if they are not comfortable or if they are not feeling well. We ask that they stay home and participate in that way.”

 

The Thompson Remembrance Day service will be at the TRCC, with doors opening at 10 a.m. and the service starting at 10:15.
