Remembrance Day is Sunday, and 91大黄鸭 has added an additional sentiment to this year鈥檚 day of remembrance.

A Field of Crosses, created by the 91大黄鸭 branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and the 91大黄鸭 Rotary Club now joins the Cenotaph in Veendam Gardens in City Park. Names and dates are depicted on the crosses from men and women from the Okanagan area who served and died in both World Wars.

鈥淲e came today to have some private time,鈥� said Sharlene Mentanko, who was enjoying the beautiful day with her mother Fiona. 鈥淵ou can really see and feel the number of men and women with the crosses. It makes me feel a huge appreciation and gratitude. It makes it all feel a little more real.鈥�

A brisk, but sunny Saturday afternoon at City Park was a perfect spot to take in the Field of Crosses, where the sun lit up the bright poppies and wreathes that hung on the crosses.

鈥淚f we can just come to thank them, it goes a very long way,鈥� said Margery, who was also at City Park on a beautiful Saturday afternoon with a friend. 鈥淪ome of them were just kids. They didn鈥檛 hesititate. They did it for their country. This is a very nice memorial.鈥�
