City Barrie Mayor, Jeff Lehman, Barrie MP Patrick Brown, and Barrie MPP Rod Jackson who unfortunately was not re-elected.
BARRIE – Thousands of people turned out to Memorial Square in downtown Barrie today to remember Canada's veterans. Barrie Mayor Jeff Lehman tweeted: " Absolutely beautiful day in Downtown Barrie for Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph in Barrie. Lest we forget. "
REMEMBRANCE DAY
Mr. Patrick Brown (Barrie, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, on November 11 we remember the generations of Canada's most courageous who have answered the call of duty and served our country.
From World War I to our work in Kandahar and around the globe today, the constant has always been the valour, the courage and the sacrifice of our brave men and women in uniform.
It is our duty to remember. That is why on Remembrance Day in communities like Barrie, throughout Canada, hundreds of families will stand before their cenotaph, like the one in Memorial Square in Simcoe County, to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
At this time I would like to pay respect to Pastor Jay Davis at Mapleview Church for his annual Remembrance Day service, Reverend Michael Cassidy, who conducts a moving service at Whispering Pines seniors residence, and of course our veterans organizations that lead Remembrance Day events on November 11.
I thank Jim Strang, president of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 147; Neil McKinnon, president of the Army Navy Air Force Club; Bill Wuerch, sergeant-at-arms; the Auxiliary Corps ladies led by the lovely Rosemary Ashton; and our honorary colonel of Base Borden, Jamie Massie, who all play a big role in honouring our veterans in Barrie.
In the Community: Remembrance Day Statement
November 10, 2013
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Barrie- Each year on November 11th we are given the solemn opportunity to pay our respects to the courageous men and women in uniform who have served our country, and who have died on our behalf.
Remembrance Day is a day to remember their bravery, service and conviction. It is a day to honour the sacrifice of all those who have fought for the freedom of millions of people around the world, and right here at home.
This is a day to recognize their sacrifices, and to express our deepest gratitude for their service which has helped to earn us the peace, prosperity, and liberty we enjoy in Canada.
This is also a day to take pride in our country’s military, and to thank those who today courageously wear the uniform of Canada’s Armed Forces for continuing this nation’s proud tradition of selfless commitment, excellence, and service that our veterans have demonstrated.
This Remembrance Day, all Barrie residents can help ensure that the brave soldiers, sailors, and air men and women who gave their lives in service of Canada and our values are never forgotten. In Barrie, the annual Remembrance Day ceremony will be held at Memorial Square, on Dunlop Street. Form up for parade is at 10:15 a.m. on Dunlop Street, east of Memorial Square. Parade starts at 10:30 a.m. and the service at the cenotaph starts at 10:45 a.m.
Wherever you may be at 11 am on November 11th, please take a moment to bow your head and pay respect to our veterans. May we never forget.
