Bells will toll in Espanola on November 11th

The ringing of the bells to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War will take place in Espanola.

An ecumenical service will be held at 7:00 pm followed by the pealing of the bells 100 times at the Anglican Church on Remembrance Day.

The Espanola Royal Canadian Legion Branch #39 is leading the local initiative.

On November 11th, at the going down of the sun, communities across Canada will emulate the moment in 1918 when church bells across Europe tolled as four years of war came to an end.

Still with the story, the Legion has also contacted all the schools for students to enter the annual poster and poetry contests.

Last year, 89 students from the local schools entered the contest with some entries going on to district and zone competitions.
