Members of the Callander Public Library Knitting Group have created a commemorative banner to honour local veterans.
The banner, measuring 77 inches long by about four feet wide, will be presented on Remembrance Day to Legion Branch 445.
“We saw that other Legions had done something similar, and we decided to do it ourselves.”
According to Lorna Ryan, a founding member of the knitting group, the project was a way to give back and honour veterans, with Ryan stating
“I’ve never missed a Remembrance Day service”.
The group immediately got behind the cause, feeling it was the right thing to do.
