remembrance day - november 11, 2020

message from the president

Tom Woods,President, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 92 Salt Spring

Despite the restraints caused by Covid19, we had a meaningful ceremony at the Cenotaph on November 11th.

Such a venture requires the input and cooperation of many agencies and volunteers too many to name individually here.

Whether a Legion member, a community service, an organization or business, the social media, a musical group, an independent volunteer, one of the community at large, a participant at the Cenotaph or a viewer of the live streaming, all are deserving of the gratitude, kudos, and heartfelt thanks of the Legion and especially Veterans.

A special thanks to those who made a donation to the Poppy Fund by a monitary donation in exchange for a Poppy or a memorial wreath.

Thank you all. Be safe.

Lest We Forget.

Promoting Remembrance


Promoting Remembrance is part of The Royal Canadian Legion’s mission and has been one of our principal objectives since our inception. The Legion inspires Canadians to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and to honour those who served and continue to serve today. Remembrance is a year-long commitment and we endeavour to promote it through a number of programs, services and resources.

The Legion promotes Remembrance in our communities

  • The Legion conducts the annual Poppy Campaign and invites all Canadians to wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to never forget those who sacrificed for our freedom
  • Legion Branches across the country organize and conduct annual community Remembrance services and recognition events 
  • The Legion, on behalf of the people of Canada, organizes and conducts the National Remembrance Day service in Ottawa 
  • Branches collaborate with communities to build and maintain local cenotaphs and memorials to honour the Fallen
  • Branches are proud to celebrate their local heroes and many have museums and displays to express their pride in their history.

Education to perpetuate Remembrance

  • The Legion has developed an excellent interactive Teaching Guide on the subject of Remembrance.
  • The Legion coordinates annual Youth Poster and Literary Contests on the theme of Remembrance. Winners at the senior level are brought to Ottawa to represent the nation’s youth at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony.
  • The Legion conducts Remembrance Day and commemorative ceremonies for youth in schools and special events.

History of the cenotaph

The Salt Spring Archives have created a wonderful set of information regarding the History of the Cenotaph and associated stories.
