In preparation for this year’s Remembrance Day, members of the Royal Canadian Legion Barry’s Bay Branch 406 have been active in drawing attention to those who have served in the armed forces. Not only can we appreciate the banners posted in the community, but the Legion’s social media has been filled with photos and reminiscences.
