Remembrance Day ceremony being moved draws reaction
CTV
The move of the Halifax Remembrance Day ceremony to Dartmouth has drawn a reaction.
Allan DeYoung has served in Canada’s military overseas.
He now lives here in a homeless encampment in Dartmouth.
When told Halifax’s Grand Parade Remembrance Day ceremony will moved, DeYoung said, “Well, they have a Remembrance Day thing over at Sullivan’s Pond, do they not?”
He is right. The Halifax ceremony will shift to the Cenotaph in Dartmouth.
Because of the homeless encampment in downtown Halifax, DeYoung says this was the right decision.
“What are you going to do? Pack them all up, move them for a day, and let them come back?”
Veterans Emergency Transition Services Canada CEO Jim Lowther understands why some people would be angry about this decision, but he is more concerned about finding housing for the homeless.

In just under a year's time, important pieces of the new French language law are set to come into force for companies operating in Quebec. Although many are preparing for the laws to be applied, the future requirements are still causing some stress, notably because of the paperwork involved and what some say is a lack of clarity.
