Amid wind and snow, Camlachie remembers

The crowd was slightly smaller – likely due to the cold wind and snow – as the Camlachie community gathered at the cenotaph to remember.
The Sunday morning service, organized by the Huron Shores Optimist, included a walk to the cenotaph and the Act of Remembrance which included the Last Post played by Don VanderKlock. Twelve years ago, the Sarnia trumpeter was asked by a friend to help with the service. He says it is an honour to be involved.
Members of the Wyoming Legion were on hand to provide the Colour Guard and the First Hussars of Sarnia helped dignitaries lay the wreaths.
