Courtenay Remembrance Day Ceremony
Wreaths at Courtenay and Sandwick Cenotaphs
Courtenay Remembrance Day Ceremony
Spectators were encouraged to watch from home this year so
We streamed on Facebook Live
This year the Ceremony was a small one. There was no Marching Parade and spectators were discouraged due to the current COVID restrictions by Provincial and Local Health Authorities. Ceremony included the Act of Remembrance, Last Post and Rouse by our bugler and the Lament by our Piper. Wreaths were laid by Federal, Provincial, and Local government representatives only. All other wreaths were pre-placed and acknowledged here on our website www.courtenaylegion.ca . Many citizens personally placed a wreath or Poppy after the Ceremony. CFB Comox Search and Rescue Cormorant Helicopter provided the flyby.

Courtenay Remembrance Day Ceremony
From the last Friday in October to Remembrance Day, millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to never forget those who sacrificed for our freedom. We invite everyone across the country to show their recognition by proudly wearing this symbol of Remembrance and taking a moment to reflect.
Courtenay Legion will be providing traditional poppy boxes which will accept coins and donors will receive poppies as usual, and, volunteers will set up donation tables at certain business locations if deemed feasible and safe under BC Health directives. No members of the Cadets will be present.
Donations can be made directly to Courtenay Legion by cheque, money order, or e-transfer.

The unique circumstances that our military men and women face often makes the transition back to civilian life challenging. The Royal Canadian Legion is here to assist Veterans in getting the help and supports they need. Many Veterans will visit a local Legion Branch to request assistance. Volunteer Branch Service Officers are the boots-on-the-ground, and are available to assist with Legion paperwork, and refer Veterans to a Legion Command Service Officer for assistance with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) disability benefits. All Veterans services through the Legion are offered free of charge, and you don’t have to be a member to get help. Click here for more

Ladies’ Auxiliaries
The Ladies’ Auxiliary is a non-profit organization operated separate from The Royal Canadian Legion… but together they thrive.
The Ladies’ Auxiliary originated during the First World War when women were asked to help wounded Veterans returning home, and to provide supports for their families. When The Royal Canadian Legion was established in 1926, these women were a welcomed addition at Legion Branches as they continued the tradition of volunteering to support needy ex-service personnel, and to enrich the programs and activities of the Branch.
