As communities gear up to mark Remembrance Day, red yarn has become key to a symbol in North Grenville to commemorate the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Canadian veterans.
Started by Brenda Ward of Kemptville four years ago, a display of knitted poppies now holds a place of pride in Kemptville’s downtown.
Ward says she first got the idea from a display she saw in a church window in Calgary. She thought it was stunning and put it out to the community who in turn embraced the idea. She now receives poppies from around the world, getting 200 from a woman in Australia this year. "I have a bin that is outside the bakery, we just ask people to deliver them there," Wilson said."The poppies I knit take about an hour to do because they are more intricate."
Starting in 2023, banners will be raised along the street paying tribute to current and past military members with connections to North Grenville. Mayor Nancy Peckford says she is the proudest mayor in Canada today.
