Roblin Branch #24 of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Sergeant-at-Arms Bernie Kozmeniuk leads the Colour Party to begin this year’s Remembrance Day services held Saturday at the Community Centre.

This year’s service of remembrance was especially poignant with the passing on Oct. 30 of the Roblin district’s last surviving World War II veteran Alex Smigelsky who took part in the Liberation of Holland. MCing the service was his son Wes while the guest speaker was his grandson RCMP Sergeant Chris who talked about his own experiences in Holland as one of 12 RCMP members  tasked to participate in the 60th anniversary celebrations of that liberation back in 2005.
