Remembrance Day Service was held at the Cobden Cenotaph and organized by the Royal Canadian Legion Cobden Branch 550 on Friday, Nov. 11.
When the service was over, the winners of the Cobden Legion essay, poem and poster contest were announced.
The contest is open to all grade school students in the area. Students are asked to produce Remembrance Day posters, in different categories, as well as poems and essays.
Lori Buchan, Legion member and Youth Education chairperson, noted that this year’s response was excellent with more than 210 entries in the various categories and age groups.
All the entries were very well done and selecting the winners was a difficult task for the judges.
On Remembrance Day afternoon, Legion President Gene Phillion and Ms. Buchan presented certificates and prizes to the winning participants. All participants were congratulated.
