It will be a special day for Glenwood Cemetery in downtown Picton on Saturday.
The Cemetery will mark Veterans’ Day with a ceremony involving the ribbon cutting on two special military cannons, called the Boulter Cannons.
Glenwood Cemetery’s Chair Sandy Latchford says Wellington Boulter, who developed canning factories in the county, brought them to Picton in the 1890s.
One was forged in 1807 and one in 1812. They had been placed in front of his store and at one time at the high school.
Latchford says Boulter was very supportive of the cemetery.
She says it’s appropriate that the cannons be situated at the cemetery.
The Veterans Day ceremony begins at 10 a.m. followed by the ribbon cutting for the cannons.
