WAVERLEY:<\/strong> With September-like weather beating down on Nov. 11, a large crowd turned out to the Remembrance Day service at the Waverley Legion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd came out to recognize and honour the sacrifices our veterans have made in the past and present and continue to do so when called upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As those gathered at the cenotaph at the Waverley Legion, they were greeted by rocks that were designed and other wreaths laid a day earlier by businesses in the community and students at Waverley Memorial School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students also laid other stuff, but Legion members had taken those inside so there was room to place the wreaths from the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowds were large at various other locations across the local area- in Beaver Bank; in Windsor Junction; in Enfield and Elmsdale at the Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MP Darrell Samson laid a wreath at the Beaver Bank service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the service, those gathered were welcomed inside and many took advantage of that to have some coffee, Pepsi from the Legion and after noon time hit a few beverages to mark the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also chowder available for those in attendance to, well, chow down on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
