Steve Boodram and Rae Ann Howe received 20-year pins, and Ellen Krepps and Scott Holloway received their 25-year pins.

Now, the Legion is preparing for its upcoming Remembrance Day service, which will be held at the Clearview Community Church in Kindersley on November 11. A procession will be leaving the Legion Hall for the church at 10:40 a.m. Those wishing to march with the Legion are instructed to be at the hall no later than 10:30 a.m. The service will start just shortly before 11:00 a.m. so that the two minutes of silence can be observed precisely at the 11th hour. All those in attendance should plan to be in their seats by 10:50 a.m.
Anyone wanting to lay a wreath can contact Scott Holloway at 306-460-4688; wreaths are available for $50.00 per wreath. If people are not marching with the procession, wreath layers are advised to be at the church no later than 10:40 a.m.
The Kindersley Legion will be providing a luncheon at the Legion Hall after the service, and everyone is welcome to attend. In the afternoon, they will also have a Remembrance Service for the residents of Caleb Village at 2:00 p.m. and a service at Heritage Manor at 3:00 p.m.
In preparation for Remembrance Day, Scott said, “Once again, we will be putting the red lights on all the grave markers of the veterans in the cemetery.”
