We will remember them. These wreaths were laid today at the Owen Sound Cenotaph during a virtual service organized by Branch 6, Royal Canadian Legion. Memory Markers were erected in Jervis Bay Park in honour of Lieutenant Colonel Donald Mackenzie and Flying Officer Clarence Long who were killed in action during the Second World War. Posthumous tributes were made to these servicemen during this year’s Honouring Our Local Veterans.

We are thankful to our sponsors for their continued support of our annual Fire & Ice Fundraising Gala. A special thank you to Ron Todd of Todd and Associates Private Wealth Management. Ron visited the museum to personally give the donation to our curator Emily Jolliffe.
