Hundreds of White Rock and South Surrey residents gathered at the White Rock cenotaph on Nov. 11 to honour those who fought for our freedom.
A similar ceremony in Surrey attracted thousands of residents on the armistice 100th anniversary.
This year was also the 100th anniversary of Canada’s Hundred Days, during which the Canadian Corps made a series of key victories on the Western Front in the final three months of the First World War, the 10th anniversary of National Peacekeepers’ Day, the 65th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice, and the 75th anniversary of the invasion of Sicily, which marked the beginning of the Italian Campaign in the Second World War.
