The Badlands Community Facility was the hub of activity once again this year for the Drumheller Remembrance Day Ceremony.
The cadets of RCSCC Furious stood guard at the Cenotaph during the ceremony.
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #22 were hard at it once again for 2026 in organizing the community Remembrance Day ceremony. Over 400 people were in attendance to pay their respects to those who have fought for our freedom. Those in attendance were from young to old.
The local Girl Guides performed “In Flanders’s Field” during the ceremony.
During the ceremony, as is done every year, the names of those from Drumheller that gave the ultimate sacrifice in the Great War, World War II, and the Korean War were read aloud. The Sea Cadets from the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps were involved once again as those who stand guard at the Cenotaph inside the BCF. The Drumheller Girl Guides also were involved as they read the poem “In Flanders’s Field”. A number of local service groups, RCMP, Corrections Service Canada, and local businesses laid wreaths as part of the ceremony.
After the ceremony, many headed outside to the Drumheller Cenotaph to lay their poppies. Many then traveled down Centre Street to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch for fellowship. The Royal Canadian Legion is celebrating their centennial this year. The local Drumheller Branch #22 is also celebrating its 100 year anniversary on Sunday, November 15th at the local Legion, beginning at 1 PM.
