Calgary Highlanders honour Remembrance Day

The Calgary Highlanders honoring Remembrance Day, this ceremony at Central Memorial Park, the recent Wainwright fire on people's minds. The four members that lost their lives and all the people that are still recovering. That's most important today, I think. We keep the fallen four soldiers in our hearts and we think of their families and their friends and comrades and those that are injured and their families as well. McKenty says all of the fallen are honoured at the ceremony. It's a very solemn day for us to remember those who have gone before us and paid the ultimate sacrifice. Wreaths being laid to honour that sacrifice. All types of emergency services paying tribute, so too did families, politicians and other groups, Keith Purdy among them. I was a medic back in the 80s and As a gay man, we laid a wreath to support the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer community here in Calgary and throughout the province and Canada as well. The day, an emotional one for him. It's out of respect for all the people that have served and the people that gave their lives so that we could. Live the lives that we want to live in freedom and security. Calgarians paying their own respects after the ceremony, laying their own poppies on the cenotaph. Chelsea Mutter, CBC News, Calgary.
