CANSO: Lions Clubs across the province are being encouraged to come to Canso for a memorial service for fishers lost at sea.
The Seamen’s Memeorial Service is in its 50th year and put on by the Canso Lions Club at the Seamen’s Memorial.
It will take place Aug. 9 at 2 p.m. A rain location will be announced at a later date.
It sees people come to honour fishers who gave their lives while working in the sea–the heart of our coastal way of life.
