In the spring of 2022, the Village of Bjorkdale received a grant through Veteran Affairs Canada. The Commemorative Partnership grant is committed to honouring those who served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace, and to keeping the memory of their achievements and sacrifices alive for all Canadians.
To support this commitment, the Commemorative Partnership Program (CPP) provides funding to organizations undertaking remembrance initiatives. With the help of this grant, the Village of Bjorkdale has started to install 42 Veteran banners that will surround Bjorkdale memorial park. Bjorkdale’s Remembrance Day ceremony will be held on Thursday, Nov. 10 at 10:50 a.m. at the community hall with a luncheon to follow and a walking tour of memorial park afterwards.
