Remembrance Day Meeting and Parade

On November 5, the 1st Alcona Beavers will have our Remembrance Day themed meeting.  Planned activities include some games and a little discussion about Remembrance Day and why we celebrate it.

We will also be discussing this coming weekend, when we have been asked to participate in the yearly parade at the Lefroy /Belle Ewart Legion on Sunday the 9th of November.  We will explain to the boys the importance of respect both during the parade and afterwards at the ceremony.

For the parade itself, we ask for the Beavers to arrive at the Legion itself at 10am (Robinson St. and Ewart St) in Full Uniform.  Once we are together, we will walk one street south to Arnold St and line up with the rest of the procession.  The parade route itself is usually fairly short...only heading along Ewart St. back to Robinson St. and then ending there for the ceremony.  Many great opportunities for photographs along the way.

Following the ceremony, the legion will usually have cookies and drinks for the kids.

As usual, if you have any questions regarding these meetings or anything else, please let me know.
