Mosaic Place and the Royal Canadian Legion hosted their Remembrance Day service Sunday.

The 'Commemorating 100 Years of Remembrance' service is recognizing the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended World War I. It also marks the 100th anniversary of 'Canada's Hundred Days', a three-month stretch of victories in Europe at the end of the war.

Pastor Doug Shepherd led the ceremony. "My grandfather was with the battalion out of Calgary that went over in the First [World] War, my father was in the RCAF, my Mom was in the CWAC, I had an uncle in the American air force, my son did some time in the artillery reserve in Lethbridge. I did seven years in the artillery and the Highland regiment in Victoria."

Shepherd said veterans feel pride. "Those folks who have been in active service...there is a pride, and you can just tell it. It radiates from them. They were there, and they made their contribution, and by gum, they came home, too. And we're glad of it. We remember those who didn't come back, and we remember those who came back injured and damaged in some way."

The pastor explained what he thinks about on Remembrance Day. "I think of my old Dad over there, in the trenches, in the First [World] War, and my Mom in the CWAC in the Canadian Women's Army Corps during the Second World War, and my uncle - I think he was shot down over Italy. I think of them, and the tremendous sacrifices they've made."

A 'Parade of Veterans' after the service - at the corner of 2nd Avenue northwest and High Street west - culminated with an open house at the Royal Canadian Legion on High Street.

Bells will also be ringing in Moose Jaw and across Saskatchewan 100 times to honour the centennial as part of "Bells of Peace" initiative that represents the bells that rang and rang after the war ended.
