Honouring Our Fallen, Together

Branch 68 warmly invites our community to join us on Christmas Eve as we take part in a deeply meaningful tradition shared with the people of Holland. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ€πŸ‡³πŸ‡±

Every year in the Netherlands, local children place candles on the graves of Canadian soldiers who liberated their country during the Second World War. Their light carries gratitude across generations β€” and here in Penetanguishene, we gather in solidarity to honour that same legacy of courage, sacrifice, and remembrance.
πŸ•―οΈ Meet at the Legion: 4:30 PM
πŸ•―οΈ Vigil: 4:30–8:00 PM
πŸ•―οΈ Potluck Dinner at the Legion afterwards (sign-up sheet in the Clubroom)πŸš— Transportation will be provided for those who need assistance between the Legion and the Cenotaph.
🧣 Dress warmly β€” candles and winter nights go hand in hand.
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ All ages welcome, with supervision encouraged for younger participants.

This evening is a chance to pause during the rush of the season… to hold light for those who never made it home… and to stand in unity with our friends in Holland who continue to honour our Canadian heroes.

Together, we keep the memory bright.
