THIS WEEK AT ROTARY | Family of Rotary Remembrance
Today, the Family of Rotary came together for a meaningful Remembrance Day program to honour the courage, service and sacrifice of the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, our country.
We were honoured to welcome several distinguished military guests, including Lieutenant-Colonel Tracy East of the Algonquin Regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel John Verran and Master Warrant Officer Scott Gallant from 22 Wing CFB North Bay; and Lieutenant Colonel Jason Spicer and Master Sergeant Hailey Sundberg representing the United States Air Force at CFB North Bay. Our program included a reflection by Maurice Switzer on the contributions of Indigenous peoples to Canada's military history. We were also grateful to have veterans join us for this special occasion.
A heartfelt thank you to our guest speakers, military representatives, veterans, Colour Party and everyone who contributed to making today's gathering such a meaningful tribute.
As we approach November 11, we are reminded of the importance of remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice and honouring all who have served.
