THE Field cf Honow
at the North Shore
Cemetery will be the
site of a commemora-
tive candlelight ceremo-
ny Sept. 12.

The ceremony, which is
open to the public, is intend-
ed to honour Canadian war
veterans as part of Veterans”
International Memorial Day
Service.

The tradition began in The
Netherlands in 1995, when
Dutch citizens held « special
ceremony to commemorate
the liberation of their country
by Canadian Forces in 1945.

Dutch children placed
lighted candles on the graves
of fallen Canadian soldiers.

This has become an annual
event across Eurese. B.C. was
the first province in Canada to

AYLOR

initiate the ceremonies,
according to Fred Udell, pres-
ident of the Korean Veterans
Association of Canada Unit
49.

Last year, over 30 B.C.
communitics took part in can-
diclight ceremonies.

At the last candlelight cer-
emony at North Vancouver's
Mountainview Cemetery in
May, 500 children feft candles
burning overnight in honour
of Canadian servicemen and
women.

Veterans and youth from
across the North Shore will
join guests at the ceremony
on Sunday, including Ted
White MP, the Consul
Generals of France and The
Netherlands, the Mayors of
North Vancouver City and
District, representatives from
Veterans Affairs Canada and
other veterans groups.
