On Friday evening, Ridgetown, ON held its Canada Day Parade. It was beautiful weather. The McKinlay Funeral Home, were great hosts allowing us to kit up there and get the horses ready. They are great people to work with have supported us on a number of occasions. The horses were old veterans of parades and were as always a hit with the public.

The CGWS provided a 3 man firing party for the Blenheim Decorations Day held by the Blenheim Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 185 at the Evergreen Cemetery. Perfect weather for this annual commemoration. The firing party was thanked for adding a Great War element to the event. A nice lunch was held at the RCL afterwards and much appreciated.
