Fanshawe to mark Remembrance Day with memorial dedication

On November 11, Fanshawe College will dedicate a new memorial that will stand as a symbol of remembrance for all those who have served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

 

The dedication will take place at the College's annual Remembrance Day service in what is now known as Valour Court. This courtyard, located outside the College's D Building, has been designated as a place of reflection to honour Canada's service members.

 

"As Canada's first Military-Connected College, Fanshawe is committed to ensuring that the stories and sacrifices of our veterans and those who continue to serve live on in the hearts and minds of future generations," said Peter Devlin, President of Fanshawe College. "Valour Court and our new memorial will serve as lasting tributes to the members of our armed forces."

 

Financial support for the memorial was provided by Fanshawe's Poppy Project and Veterans Affairs Canada's Commemoration Program.

 

As part of the College's Remembrance Day service, award-winning Canadian music artist, Terry Kelly, will perform his songs, A Pittance of Time and Safe Home. Kelly is past honorary colonel in the Royal Canadian Airforce and recipient of the Order of Canada.
