Sunday, November 8, 2026
Every year Canadians gather at their town’s cenotaph on November 11th to honour all their fellow Canadians who have served their country in the military and especially those who have not returned home. These are emotional moments as the loss of loved ones or dear friends is difficult to understand and to reconcile. When World War 1 ended on November 11, 1918, the bells throughout all of Canada rang out heralding the end of hostilities and the restoration of peace and freedom in our land. That was the first “Ringing of the Peace Bell”. The Knox Church bell rang out in 1918; it rang again in 2018 at the 100th Anniversary, and it will ring again in 2026 announcing the 108th Anniversary of the “Ringing of the Peace Bell”.
The Kincardine and area community are invited to attend the Knox Church’s respectful acknowledgement of the sacrifices of Canada’s soldiers who fought and died for their country. Our ceremony is Wednesday, November 11 and begins at 7PM. We are pleased that the Legion flag bearers will participate along with several of Kincardine’s finest vocalists. Songs will include “I Vow to Thee My Country”, “Hallelujah” and “We Rise Again”. The ceremony will end with a stirring rendition of “Highland Cathedral”.
Everyone is invited to attend this memorable ceremony. Donations are welcome.
