The bells at the old United Church in Cupar will be ringing at
sunset November 11 at 5:18 pm. Thank you to the Cupar Legion. Lest we
forget. 100 years since the end of the war to end all wars. Now known
as the First World War.
On November 11, at the going down of the sun, communities across
Canada will mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World
War with the ringing of 100 bells. The ringing of bells emulates the
moment in 1918 when church bells across Europe tolled as four years
of war had come to an end.
To engage youth in this significant initiative, children with the
help of schools and youth organizations, are encouraged to research,
locate and place flags on the graves of Canadian Veterans of the
Great War.
Legion Branches and communities will host commemorative ceremonies
and special activities to help Canada Remember. At sunset on November
11, the bells will ring at Parliament Hill, city halls, places of
worship, military bases, Naval vessels and at ceremonies across the
country to honour Canada's Veterans and commemorate the end of the
First World War.
When you hear the bells toll on November 11, take a moment to
pause and remember all those who served and sacrificed.
We will remember them.
