Legion prepares for virtual school visits

While COVID-19 may prevent the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion from attending schools in-person leading up to Remembrance Day, students will be visited virtually.

While COVID-19 may prevent the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion from attending schools in-person leading up to Remembrance Day, students will be visited virtually.

Wednesday afternoon members of the Legion paraded for a shortened version of the traditional Remembrance Day Service as the cameras rolled at the branch offices.

Legion president Ken Gordon said the video will be made available to all the schools in Yorkton that they normally visit in person.

In addition to the brief ceremony the video will include interviews with veterans talking about the branch of the Armed Forces they served and where, and with non-veteran Legion members talking about why they joined the organization, and why the Legion is important.
