REMEMBRANCE DAY – LEST WE FORGET

🌺 November 11 – A Time to Remember, Reflect and Honour

The Bentley Museum and Bentley Community Church invite you to join our community as we come together to honour and remember the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.

🌺 Community Remembrance Day Service
📍 Bentley Community Church – 4824 50th Street
🕥 Wednesday, November 11 at 10:45 a.m.

🌺 Bentley Museum Annual Open House
📍 4929 51st Avenue
🕦 11:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Following the service, everyone is invited to visit the Museum, explore the Veterans Display, share memories and enjoy hot dogs, cake and refreshments.

Have You Seen the Veterans Banners Along Main Street?
We encourage residents and visitors to take a little extra time this Remembrance Day to walk or drive along Bentley's Main Street and view the Veterans Banners proudly displayed in honour of those who served.

This meaningful project was facilitated by the dedicated Bentley Museum Society volunteers, in partnership with the Town of Bentley and the families who chose to honour their loved ones.

Each banner represents a person, a family, a story and a sacrifice. Together, they are a powerful reminder of our community's connection to history and the importance of keeping these memories alive for future generations.

❤️ Thank you to the Museum volunteers, participating families and everyone who helped bring this special tribute to our community.

Whether you attend the service, visit the Museum, stop to read a banner or simply take a quiet moment of reflection, we invite you to remember.

🌺 We Remember. We Honour. Lest We Forget. 🌺
