IT WAS A DAY TO BE REMEMBERED

Hundreds of people braved the cold yesterday to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies. In his speech at City Hall, Mayor Sohi reminded those gathered of Edmonton's military history of more than 100 years, and the Loyal Edmonton Regiment history going back to 1908. Lt.-Col. Bryn Wright, commanding officer of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment who was deployed in Afghanistan in 2011 reminded people that many from Edmonton’s military community are now deployed in Europe and the Middle East including more than 40 people from his regiment alone.
