Saskatoon gathers to commemorate Remembrance Day [Video]

Commemorating the sacrifices at The Cenotaph outside City Hall

Roughly one hundred people gathered at the Cenotaph at Civic Square to pay tribute.

The crowd observed a moment of silence before the clock on the war memorial struck 11 a.m. Military members laid wreaths at the base of the memorial at the conclusion of the commemoration and the general public was given an opportunity to lay their poppies in remembrance.

This is a much smaller ceremony compared to the SaskTel Centre event, but for Captain Eric Ogrodnick, a member of the North Saskatchewan Regiment, it’s important for residents to visit this memorial built in 1929 and remember the fallen which it honors.

“I think it’s pretty amazing to think that since before The Second World War, people have been commemorating the sacrifices of the soldiers that fought in The First World War at this Cenotaph,” Ogrodnick told CTV News.
