For 24 hours prior to Friday’s ceremony, air, army, and sea cadets took turns maintaining a vigil around the downtown cenotaph. Taking part for the first time was sea cadet Stacey Del Mundo, who says standing guard gave her time to reflect on what we have in Canada. “It’s been three years since we’ve been able to have the full ceremonies, so I’m really quite happy that it went off without a hitch and mother nature spared us the rain that was being predicted. So I think it went well,” said Lewis Forth, president of the Canadian Royal Legion Branch 256.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.
