Métis veterans Ernie Cotes and Peter Gendron at the War
Memorial monument in Owen Sound.
Métis veterans showed their dedication at Remembrance Day ceremonies all over Ontario. Two such veterans were Ernie Cotes and Peter Gendron who despite the cold and rain, placed wreaths at the War Memorial monument in Owen Sound.
The laying of a wreath is an important gesture that honours those who gave their lives for freedom and is a sign of remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve for Canada during times of war, conflict and peace.
