A sunrise Remembrance Day service will be held for a fifth time at Lake Cemetery.
Set to begin at 7:30 a.m. on November 11th at the war memorial in the veterans’ section of the cemetery, the service will be officiated by Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment chaplain Nancy Wilson, with the playing of The Last Post followed by two minutes of silence.
Little Lake Cemetery CEO James Belk says the sunrise ceremony was first held in 2022 as an alternative for those who couldn’t make the 11 a.m. service in Confederation Park due to another commitment. He adds the setting makes the service that more poignant.
The cemetery’s veterans’ section, says Belk, is well looked after, and rightly so.
Belk says some special guests are expected for the ceremony.
Those planning to attend are asked to enter by the main cemetery gate at Crescent and Haggart Street.
