A cold rain occasionally magnified the chill November air as local cadets formed a five-person honour guard at the downtown Barrie cenotaph on Friday evening.
Candles were lit at the start of the vigil to signify Canadian soldiers who died serving their country. The candles were placed around the base of the cenotaph and were to burn throughout the vigil.
The Remembrance Day vigil began at 7 p.m. and lasted until midnight, with the second one on Nov. 11 from 6 to 9:30 a.m.
Cadets from the Navy League Cadets Corps Chambly, 102 Barrie Silver Fox Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, 2919 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, and 53 Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Barrie, are taking part in the vigil ahead of Remembrance Day ceremonies on Saturday.
