Memorial Wall Unveiling
This was a celebration of the unveiling in Bowering Park of the Memorial Wall. This is a very cultural place, holding many unique celebrations just about every year to honor different things in our beautiful city. If there is an event here, it has a very deep tie to our history and culture of Newfoundland and Labrador.

This is a when they were unveiling the plaque wall. A very historical moment for Newfoundland and Labrador. A very beautiful memory for all our past soliders.
This is a view of when everyone was standing and the plaque wall was being blessed by the preist.

This is a picture of the first Laying of the Wreaths at Bowring Park. There were many wreaths to place at the wall and they took turns one by one, putting them up against the wall.

The Mayor Denis O'keefe was laying a wreath on the wall plaque in Bowring Park. This new wall was introduced on July 1st, 2009 - Happy Canada Day!
The final Wreath has been layed on the wall and the cermony is almost complete. A very beautiful wall and those wreaths really make it stand out. What a beautiful day in the Park. Happy Canada Day 2009!
This is where His Honour the Honourable John C. Crosbie, Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador was exiting to leave the cermony. The army conducted the moves as if they were in the army and was very formal. A great cermony to attend.
