Callander Knitters Honour Veterans with Poppy Banner
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.”
Lorna Ryan, a founding member of the knitting group, emphasized the importance of honouring veterans, saying
“I’ve never missed a Remembrance Day service”.
The group immediately got behind the cause, feeling it was the right thing to do.
