Doug Pirie Memorial Candlelight Service

On Tuesday, November 10th at 1:00pm, the community will gather at the Pender Island Cemetery for a moving tribute of remembrance. Each year, Pender Island school children arrive by bus to quietly and respectfully place candles on the more than 125 crosses that honour our veterans—those who stood for Canada in times of war and peace.

Around 5:00pm, as daylight begins to fade and dusk settles in, the candles on each cross will be lit, casting a gentle glow across the cemetery in silent gratitude. The public is warmly invited to visit, pause, and reflect during this peaceful moment of remembrance. In the distance, the haunting notes of a lone piper will drift through the evening air, reminding us of the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who came before us.
