The $1.33M rent reduction comes from what the club owed during seasons impacted by the pandemic.
Remembrance Day is one to reflect on the freedoms men and women have fought for in the past and present.
“I reflect that we’re so darn lucky here in Canada that we have the country that we have,” said retired lieutenant-colonel Henry Sobchyshyn.
“I’ve seen a couple of other countries that are torn apart by battles and the way people suffer — not just the troops and the people who are fighting. They are the ones we look after, the civilians and the children in those countries. You sure appreciate what Canada has.”
After a couple years away, the Brandt Centre will once again be the site of a Remembrance Day ceremony.
“We’re finally back at the Brandt Centre after COVID took a kick at us,” Sobchyshyn said. “We haven’t done it for two years but now we’re back in again so this one is hopefully as big as ever.”
Sobchyshyn said doors for the free event open Friday at 9 a.m.
“We’d like everybody in place by 10 because there will be music starting after that and the official marching on of the sentries and everything starts promptly at 10:30, all back timed so we do our silence at 11 a.m.,” he said. “So that’s the key time.”
There will be a ceremony at the cenotaph in Victoria Park as well.
“A parade of mostly cadets will start at the Legion and march down to the cenotaph about (10:45) so they are there around 11,” Sobchyshyn said.
