#yyc #calgary #congratulations #cantarechildrenschoir #fieldofcrossesWhile Cantilena and Cantiga were enjoying their Autumn Retreat at Camp Chestermere, Cantare was thrilled perform at the Investiture Service of the Order of St George.
The Order of St George is a Chivalric Order whose mission is to “better the health and well-being of members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans, and their families, and supports the Canadian Cadet and Junior Ranger Program” We are proud to have choristers who participate in these programs outside of choir.
The Investiture service welcomed new Knights of the order, including our very own Major [Ret] Kent Griffiths from the Field of Crosses, congratulations to all those who were honoured this day!!
🙌 As we continue to prepare for the season of remembrance, we want to take another opportunity to reflect on the unwavering dedication of our volunteers.
❄️ Last year, some chilly weather and snowfall couldn't stop these incredible volunteers from coming together to install crosses and prep the site here at The Field of Crosses along Memorial Drive.
❤️ Today, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of the generous individuals who take the time to lend a helping hand year after year.
