REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONIES/SERVICES IN KITCHENER-WATERLOO WHAT'S ON Kitchener's Remembrance Day ceremonies will be held at the Cenotaph on Sunday Nov. 11, 2018. Waterloo Region Record WATERLOO REGION - Local legions are calling on buildings with bells to help mark the anniversary of the end of the First World War by ringing them at sunset on Remembrance Day. The Royal Canadian Le- gion's Bells of Peace initia- tive calls on city halls, plac- es of worship and military bases to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the sign- ing of armistice that ended fighting in the First World War. On Nov. 11, participat- ing facilities will ring their bells 100 times beginning at sunset at 5:01 p.m. On Nov. 11 in 1918 church bells across the country rang out to mark the end to four years of war. The Bells of Peace initiative is meant to imitate that event, said the Royal Canadian Legion. Jim Meyer, a member of the Waterloo legion branch 530, said there have been a few challenges putting the initiative together locally as not many buildings have bells. "There are a lot of churches now that don't have bells and there are churches that have bells, but they haven't used them in years and they're really afraid to ring them 100 times," he said. Despite the challenge, there are churches and buildings participating across the region includ- ing, but not limited to: Wa- terloo churches St. Louis Roman Catholic and Trilli- um Lutheran; Kitchener churches St. Peter's Lu- theran and Sacred Heart churches; and in Galt bells will ring at city hall, Knox's Galt Presbyterian Church, and Trinity Anglican Church. The Royal Canadian Le- gion is also inviting youth across the country to place small Canadian flags on the grave sites of First World War veterans - an initiative Yvonne Power of the Galt legion branch 121 is doing with her daughter at Mountview Cemetery. lbooth@therecord.com, Twitter: @BoothRecord LEGION CALLS ON CHURCHES ACROSS WATERLOO REGION TO MARK 100 YEARS SINCE THE END OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR WITH BELLS OF PEACE LAURA BOOTH LOCAL Don't be a LitterBug!
