Members of the Callander Public Library Knitting Group have created a commemorative banner to honour local veterans.
The banner, measuring 77 inches long by about four feet wide, will be presented on Remembrance Day to Legion Branch 445.
“We saw that other Legions had done something similar, and we decided to do it ourselves,”
said Lorna Ryan, a founding member of the knitting group.
Ryan emphasized,
“I’ve never missed a Remembrance Day service,”and the group felt this was a nice way to honour veterans.
The project was a collective effort, with the group immediately getting behind the cause.
