PAISLEY – Painted poppy rocks will be available from 9-10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29 for family members to place on the graves of veterans buried at Douglas Hill Cemetery. At 10 a.m. there will be a special ceremony under the “No Stone Left Alone” (NSLA) project.
Students from Paisley will place poppy rocks to honour 50 veterans known to be buried in that cemetery. The students recently painted over 70 rocks and the remainder will be placed at the cenotaph in Paisley.
NSLA is a National Charity, dedicated to honouring and remembering Canada’s veterans. The unique ceremony provides students and youth with an authentic experience that creates knowledge, understanding and appreciation of those who serve and of the sacrifice of Canada’s fallen.
