Lethbridge Remembrance Day ceremonies draw large crowds [Video]

LETHBRIDGE, Alta. –

Canadians across the country spent Monday paying tribute to the soldiers who have fought and died while serving Canada.

Locally a pair of ceremonies were held to honour those who’ve served.

For the second time the Agri-food hub and Trade Centre hosted a Remembrance Day ceremony.

Hundreds turned out to show their support for soldiers who died in combat and veterans.

“It means a lot, because we have to remember why we have the freedoms that we have here in Canada, in other democratic countries around the world, because people died so we could live this way,” said Mike Duffy, secretary of the RCMP Veterans Association Lethbridge division.

At the same time another ceremony was being held at the cenotaph outside the Yates Memorial Theatre.
