MONTREAL, Nov. 5, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - Dawson College and Veterans Affairs Canada will hold a Veterans' Peace Ceremony on the grounds of Dawson's Peace Garden tomorrow, November 6, starting at 11 a.m.
The hour-long program will include a welcome by the Director General of Dawson College, Richard Filion, a native blessing, bagpipes, poetry, a minute of silence, a tree planting, the release of peace doves (who are trained to return to their perches, they are not released into the atmosphere), and the participation of Dawson and high school students, and special guests of veterans and peacekeepers.
