The Billy Bishop Museum invites residents to join a special remembrance ceremony this weekend at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 6, Owen Sound.

To mark the 25th anniversary of the Honouring Our Local Veterans (HOLV) program at the Billy Bishop Museum, a special remembrance ceremony is taking place this Sunday.
Over the past quarter-century, the Museum has honoured 219 veterans from the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, Peacekeeping Missions, Afghanistan, and Canadians who served in the American Forces during the Vietnam and Gulf Wars.
This ceremony will gather veterans who have previously been included in HOLV, veterans yet to be honoured, current serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the community to celebrate the legacy of service in Grey and Bruce Counties.
Come and mark this special occasion of commemoration on Sunday, October 26th, 11:30AM, at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 6, Owen Sound.
Following a lunch generously provided by the Ladies’ Auxiliary, the ceremony will begin at 12:30 p.m. with the return of the 2024 HOLV plaques. The presentation of the 2025 Honourees will include 11 new inductees to the HOLV program.
If you or a family member has received an Honouring Our Local Veterans plaque, we ask that you please bring it with you, so that a group photo can be taken.
We are extremely grateful for the continual support of Veterans Affairs Canada and Kelso Villa Retirement Community in our mission to commemorate the service and sacrifices of local veterans.
