Honouring veterans

Vets pow-wow copy

The Eagle staff and flagbearers—E.J. Smith, Dan Yerxa, Elmer Mainville, and Louis Councillor—made their way around the circle during a pow-wow in honour of veterans yesterday afternoon at the Couchiching multi-use facility, sponsored by the United Native Friendship Centre, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and Couchiching First Nation. The drumming and dancing followed an earlier ceremony where wreaths were laid at the Couchiching Veterans Memorial Site.
