PRINCE GEORGE – On November 11th 1918 people cheered and church bells rang when news of the armistice was heard. The Royal Canadian Legion looked to duplicated that celebration on the same day, 100 years later.
The sidewalks down 7th avenue in Prince George were filled with cold Canadians taking time out of their day to remember the ones they’ve lost.
“Hundreds of thousands of people would give their lives without question, they’ll call to serve for the country to defend the freedom of everyone. And then they give their life, they basically give the ultimate sacrifice to the nation and the citizens so we can enjoy our freedom,” says Cadet Instructor, Som Pun.
This years parade route had a slightly different path to a temporary cenotaph due to construction in downtown. For a few of the cadets, it was their first time marching in the parade but Cadet Juliette Venne says the new route didn’t take away from the experience.
