A time to remember!
Two High Prairie Air Cadets pose beside the Fallen Heroes Wall at the High Prairie Royal Canadian Legion
Nov. 4. The Fallen Heroes Wall has photos and biographies of each of the local men and women who died in
previous wars. The project, undertaken by the Legion two years ago, unfortunately will not be complete in time
for the Remembrance Day Service Nov. 11 at 10:45 a.m. Legion president Don Ebbett says 10 more are left
to arrive. Cadets posing are Cpl. Arianna Quinn, left, and AC Laine Roberts. Everyone is invited to attend the
service.
