Remembrance Day Ceremony

The Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre is proud to once again support the Camrose Legion in its commemoration of Remembrance Day.

2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the Remembrance Poppy in Canada. It is one of the reasons this year’s event poster includes the poppy as part of its design. According to the Royal Canadian Legion, the poppy as a symbol of remembrance is inspired by John McCrae’s In Flanders Fields.

“In July of 1921 the Great War Veterans Association (which in 1925 would unify with other Veteran groups to form the Canadian Legion) adopted the Poppy as the flower of Remembrance.Since then, the Legion and its members have upheld this tradition of Remembrance,” according to the Legion.Program
