A strong wind rattled up Collier Street in Barrie Saturday afternoon, as dignitaries and the public gathered for the Freedom of the City Parade and Ceremony.
The event was held to honour Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Borden's 110th anniversary.
"Freedom of the City is one of the oldest civic traditions, inviting a military organization to march through the city with '"'drums beating, colours flying'"' as a symbol of the community's trust, respect, and appreciation," the City of Barrie said in a news release.
Participants included Colonel Melissa Ramessar, Base Commander, Canadian Forces Base Borden and Military Personnel Generation Training Group, Barrie Mayor Alex Nuttall, and Barrie Police Chief Rich Johnston.
