Remembrance
Each November, Branch 250 leads Kitimat in honouring those who served and those who never came home. Everyone is welcome to stand with us.
Remembrance Day in Kitimat
On November 11 the community gathers at the cenotaph for the Act of Remembrance, the Last Post, two minutes of silence at 11 am and the laying of wreaths. Veterans, cadets, the RCMP, first responders and families march together.

Would your business, school or group like to lay a wreath next year? Let the Branch know and we'll be in touch when sign-up opens.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
We will remember them.
