A Place to Remember
Join us on November 10 for a quiet evening of remembrance at Base31, surrounded by tributes created by our community.
In the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day, visitors are invited to dedicate a Luminary in honour or memory of someone who served. Dedications can recognize a family member, ancestor, friend or another individual, living or deceased. Luminaries are available for a minimum contribution of $5 in the Exhibition Hall, with proceeds donated to the Royal Canadian Legion in Picton, Wellingston and Consecon.
The luminaries will be placed around the Lancaster inside the Exhibition Hall. At 4:47 p.m., as the sun sets over Prince Edward County, the luminaries will be lit and remain illuminated through the night, a reflection of the words of Laurence Binyon’s For the Fallen:
“At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
Guests are invited to walk through the Exhibition Hall, read the names, and spend a quiet moment reflecting on the people and stories represented by these tributes.
There is no formal performance or traditional event program, simply a welcoming space to gather, reflect, remember and honour those who served.
The luminaries will remain on display through Remembrance Day on November 11, joining the Lancaster as a memorial created by our community.
