The forecast for Remembrance Day is a chance of showers or flurries and two degrees in Corner Brook. A parade will start tomorrow’s events followed by the Remembrance Day Ceremony and traditional wreath laying at Remembrance Square. Robert Murphy of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13 joined Lenny on Bayfm’s “the Morning Tide.” He says they’ll gather at 10:30 and the ceremony goes ahead no matter what the weather is.
Murphy spoke about days when the weather was much worse for the Remembrance Day Ceremony. He has been the emcee for the event for ten years and remembers his hands being so cold and barely able to hold his papers.
Attendance numbers during the Remembrance Day ceremony has been growing over the past years and Murphy says Legion members are so thankful for the community’s support.
West Street (from Central Street to Main Street) will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic on Wednesday, November 11, beginning at 10:00 a.m. for the annual Remembrance Day Parade.
