For the past 27 years the Sandycove Veterans Club have conducted a service on Remembrance Day which is attended by municipal dignitaries, guests and approximately four hundred residents from within Sandycove. This year’s service was held on Sunday, November 7th and the weather could not have been better and attributed to the wonderful crowd in attendance.
Sea, Army, Air Force and Navy League Cadets based at the Barrie Ontario Armory all send sizeable contingents led by respective officers. They utilize one from each of the Cadet Corps (Navy League excepted) to lower and raise the Flags during the Last Post.
The Innisfil Pipe and Drum band attends as do also Police and Fire Services from the Innisfil Area. A well attended luncheon was held at the Wheel Recreation Centre after the service with sandwiches and desserts donated by local businesses and residents.
The Veteran’s Club recently held a Karaoke Fund Raising Dance & Social & raised $1,125 to update the Sandycove Cenotaph to recognize all past & present veterans and all service personnel currently deployed overseas.
