As we approach Remembrance Day, we think about our fallen heros. However, we sometimes forget that we still have thousands of unsung heros who go unnoticed.

These are the men and women who protect our country, and other countries around the world, on a daily basis. Many of these are wounded heros, injured while in service, not just in our armed forces, but also whilst fighting fires and crime.

Let us not forget those men and women of the Police Force and the Fire and Ambulance Service who are injured, and in need of care and convalescence whilst receiving hospital treatment.

One place for these men and women to recover is Honour House, a fully modernised, Heritage Home, located in New Westminster. Here the patients can relax and recover in a quiet, healing atmosphere. Their families can also be accommodated, if they live far from the area.

Volunteers and donations are always required to assist in providing the care and comforts, needed on a daily basis, by those convalescing at the facility.

The Order of the Eastern Star will be holding a hot dog sale, outside of Buy Low on Friday, 24th October from 10.30 – 2.00pm, all proceeds of which will be sent to the Honour House Society. Please come and support this very worthy cause and enjoy a hot dog with fried onions. Cost is by donation.
