Rural Municipality of North Shore
Remembrance Day 2026
On behalf of the Rural Municipality of North Shore, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us on November 11th for our Remembrance Day Service and reception.
First and foremost, we extend our deepest gratitude to our Veterans. Thank you for your courage, service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country. We honour those who served, those who continue to serve, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Your contributions will never be forgotten, and we are forever grateful.
We would also like to thank everyone who helped make this year’s service so meaningful, including all participants, those who laid wreaths, our speakers, musicians, attendees, and the many volunteers who generously gave their time to help bring the community together in remembrance.
A very special thank you goes to everyone involved in making our Veterans’ Memorial Poster Project such a success. This year, we proudly displayed 37 posters recognizing Veterans from our local communities who served in the First World War, Second World War, and Korean War. Each poster represents a story, a family, and a legacy of service. This project is a meaningful way to preserve our local history and ensure that the sacrifices and contributions of our Veterans are remembered by future generations.
We sincerely thank the dedicated individuals who have worked on this project:
- Retired Major Greg Perry
- Retired Colonel Annie Perry
- Mayor Gerard Watts
- Deputy Mayor Nancy MacKinnon
- Helene Robichaud
- Wendy Watts
- Gordon Ellis
Your time, research, dedication, and commitment to honouring our local Veterans are truly appreciated.
Remembrance Day is an opportunity to come together as a community, reflect on the freedoms we enjoy, and remember the people who made them possible. We are grateful to everyone who helped make this year’s service a special and meaningful occasion.
We will remember them.
With sincere appreciation,
Rural Municipality of North Shore
