Sat 7 Nov is the re-dedication of All Sappers' Cenotaph in Vedder Crossing.
 
Not only is the Cenotaph being rededicated, but the grounds around the Cenotaph have been rebuilt. Basically everything around the Cenotaph, itself will be all new. Canada Lands have spent over $1 million on the construction. Gone are the white gravel which we used to march on.

On the 7th will be a BIG ceremony. It's going to be a big Engineer event.
 
It looks great by the way Gents. A great tribute. I'll be happy to hear the ceremonies are well attended and that the events surrounding the re-dedication are a success.

Good luck and Chimo!
 
I can't get the day off and will miss the parade.

I know there is a big mess dinner in the old Officer's Mess and I know that the present occupent's have been removed and wall's have been taken down and the Mess will be as was.

To any and all please post your photo's.



 
How was the Parade,many there?
I watched the news last night and nothing about the rededication on T.V.. :mad:

How was the Mess Dinner?
 
The day was a typical November at the Cenotaph in Vedder Crossing. It rained ! However the rain did let off by the end of the ceremony.

The local press had pre-event articles, as well as post event. The Chilliwack Progress had the following article http://www.bclocalnews.com/fraser_valley/theprogress/news/69613902.html. The Chilliwack Times had this article: http://www2.canada.com/chilliwacktimes/news/story.html?id=ada1bf4b-6037-4e18-9943-2b45a7c0bdd6
