Lest We Forget

Remembrance Day Parade 2013

Every year the 24th Parkallen Scouting Group participates in the Remembrance Day Parade at the University of Alberta Butterdome (corner of 87 Avenue and 114 Street).  Please dress in full dress uniform and arrive no later that 9:30 AM.

This is a special time for our youth to march alongside with our veterans, those who currently serve in our armed forces and most of all remembering those that have gave their lives during times of war, armed conflicts and in peace so we can live in freedom today.
