Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre in Southampton, ON held a 'Time to Remember' ceremony on Sunday, November 5th, with special guest speakers and war-time music in a prelude to Remembrance Day, November 11.

It all began with a DVD presentation that touched everyone in the audience.  "A Pittance of Time" by Terry Kelly and based on an actual situation that occurred in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, is a sensitive musical look at how some people don't take the time to observe a mere two minutes of silence in remembrance of veterans.
