🕯 11:00 a.m. (please attend for 10:45 a.m.) – Wreath Laying at the Cenotaph in honour of Pachino Day, marking the start of the Allied landings in Sicily on July 10, 1943, a defining moment of WWII in which Canadian forces played a vital role. Though officially observed on the 10th, we come together early to remember with reverence.
