Westport – Remembrance Day Ceremony

3

Celebrate the Brave. Veterans Stay Overnight. Free. At 10:40 am, students and staffs at Westport stop to remember our fallen soldiers with a minutes silence.

About Remembrance Day

 

Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the official end of the World War I hostilities on November 11, 1918. World War I was a massive conflict was played out over the whole globe, but particularly in Europe, where troops from Canada supported the Allied forces.

Some 100,000 Canadian soldiers died in the First and Second World Wars.

All government buildings fly the Canadian flag this day and people remember those who fought for Canada during a two minute silence at 10 :40 am. Many people wear poppies before and on Remembrance Day to show their respect and support for Canadian troops. Poppies are generally handed out free but often a voluntary donation is given in exchange.

In Canada, November 11 is officially called Remembrance Day, but it is also known as Armistice Day and Poppy Day. Remembrance Day is commemorated in many countries, particularly members of the Commonwealth, including Australia and New Zealand (where it is also referred to as Armistice Day). In the United States, Veterans Day falls on the same date. In the United Kingdom, the Sunday closest to November 11 is known as Remembrance Sunday.In Canada, November 11 is officially called Remembrance Day, but it is also known as Armistice Day and Poppy Day.

Remembrance Day is not a statutory holiday in Ontario, making it the most controversial non-stat holiday in the province. Many people think that is should be a statutory holiday all across Canada.

Pigs and Pie Fall Fly-in

11

 

October 08, Westport ON (CRL2): COPA Flight 56 Annual “Pigs and Pies” Fly-In / Drive-In lunch hosted by the Rideau Lakes Flying Club.

This is our fall large-scale fly-in event. View the planes and enjoy the Westport hospitality. Planes come from all over Ontario, Quebec, and the Northeast States to the Westport Aerodrome. On the May 21 long weekend we held the Spring version and had 52 planes arrive – very exciting.

It’s a great way to really experience the joy of flight. People can come to the field and see a wide variety of planes arrive and takeoff. Lots of time to walk the flightline, see the planes and talk with the pilots.

We also will be providing our famous “Pigs” (i.e. Kudrinko’s fabulous sausages) plus local “Pies” made fresh just down the road – a wonderful scrumptious combination. Sausages and pie served from 11:00 until 14:00 (donations accepted to cover costs). Floatplane pickup from main dock in Westport. Fun for the whole family.

All to be had for a donation to the Club. Again, everyone in the community is welcome.

Saturday, October 8, 2016 | 10 am to 2 pm

Schedule

Thursday September 29, 9am-4pm

Friday September 30, 9am-4pm

Quilter’s Café Day!  Come and drink coffee while you sew and visit with friends.  We are offering a Block Challenge this day. You will receive a package of fabric to sew/design a 12” block.

Fall Luncheon at The Cove. We are pleased to welcome Carol Darou from the Lanark Quilt Guild as our guest speaker over lunch.  All are welcome to hear Carol’s story and enjoy a time with friends. Contact Mary Anne Bishop at thepamperedladybug @ gmail.com if you wish to attend only the lunch.

Rabies Vaccination Clinic – Westport

4

Protect Your Family – Dogs & Cats Must Be Vaccinated

The goal of hosting these clinics is to help provide rabies vaccinations to as many cats and dogs as possible. Prompting this change in date is the celebration of World Rabies Day in September (September 28, 2016).

In addition, at this time of the year hunters are preparing for the hunting season and it is important that their dogs be vaccinated against rabies. While running in the bush, hunting dogs have the potential of interacting with wild life that may have rabies. It is important that pet cats or dogs remain up-to-date with their rabies vaccination as they too could be at risk of getting rabies. By increasing the vaccination coverage in pets we will help to minimize the potential transmission of rabies to humans.

Rabies is a deadly disease that can be prevented. Did you know that a person dies from Rabies every 10 minutes throughout the world? Help prevent the spread of rabies by vaccinating your pet dog or cat.

Dogs & Cats must be on a leash or in a carrier. For more information contact us at: 613-345-5685 or 1-800-660-5853

September 14, 2016 | 2 to 6 pm
