Tobermory Legion Branch 290 News
Submitted by Christine Chisholm
On November 11th, the legion paid respect to our veterans as we have in so many years past. The community was there to support our parade and legion service, as they too, have done for so many years. Thank you to all who came out and for supporting our Poppy drive. A lovely ham and scalloped potato dinner and all the trimmings was served back at the legion after the service. Thank you to all who contributed.
