"Placing wreaths is a timeless and peaceful tradition to recognize those who made the ultimate sacrifice." 

"On behalf of the Saskatchewan Command of the Royal Canadian Legion, we wish to express our gratitude to the provincial government for their continued support of veterans and Remembrance in our great province," Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command Provincial President Keith Andrews said. "The Government Wreath Project serves as a reminder to everyone the importance of Remembrance for those who sacrificed for our freedoms."
