McBride and Valemount weathered winter temperatures to pay tribute to veterans at this year’s 2015 Remembrance Day ceremonies. So many people showed up to the Valemount ceremony that no everyone could fit into the Legion. The ceremonies began with parades, followed by laying of wreaths at the cenotaphs, music, and words. Above: Donnie MacLean with her mom Louise MacLean; Monique Jamin places a wreath; Marilyn Wheeler places a wreath.
