People began gathering early at Salmon Arm’s cenotaph Friday for the first Remembrance Day open to the public in two years.
Hosted by the Salmon Arm Legion, Branch 62 president Harley Belt served as MC for the occasion, which saw a large crowd of people once again gather around the cenotaph property to pause for two minutes of silence to honour, thank and remember the Fallen.
