Preparations for Remembrance Day services tomorrow are taking place all across the country.

But there’s a group that’s taken those services to the cemeteries where many of our veterans are buried.

Randall Purvis, Vice Chairman of the No Stone Left Alone Memorial Foundation explains how they provide youth with the opportunity to learn about and honor veterans in their area.

“We get children, they come out to the cemetery and they place a poppy at the base of the headstone. They say the name of the solider and wherever possible, they say their rank, and they say thank you. That’s a simple act of No Stone Left Alone, we have done this for thirteen years and over the years, we have placed over five hundred thousand poppies.”

Youth from all types of organizations are invited to participate, including schools, sports teams, Guides and Scouts, and more.

To learn how the foundation began and how to participate in 2024, go to their website at nostoneleftalone.ca.
