Over 400 residents gathered Wednesday to mark Remembrance Day, as the community’s annual service moved to the Stettler Agriplex for the first time.
The ceremony had previously been held at the Performing Arts Centre, but was moved this year for more space and accessibility.
Organizers say the crowd came out early to show their support for past and present members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Attendees paused at 11 a.m. for a moment of silence, before family members and dignitaries laid wreaths at the cenotaph.
Wreaths were also laid in honour of the four fallen from the Wainwright fire.
Following the proceedings, attendees gathered at the Royal Canadian Legion branch for a community luncheon.
