Remembrance Day
Our community began holding an annual Remembrance Day service in 2008. We asked for advice from the Legions in Hope and Lytton on proper protocol. The Lytton Legion donated some wreaths to use for our first service, and the Clinton Legion has donated an additional four crosses and seven wreaths. Community volunteers provide refreshments after the event. Members of the community recite the poem “In Flanders Fields” and the reply to “In Flanders Fields”. They also support the event with purchases of the poppy and cedar wreaths made locally by Kathy Walters. We have on display a permanent honour roll of all the men and women who served in the military in our community.

ANNUAL “STUFF the CRUISER EVENT”
Boston Bar continues to amaze with the amount of food and cash donations that go to our local Food Bank. So much hard work goes into this event to make it a success every year. RCMP Officers use their own time to organize and attend the event and the public is always so supportive of their efforts.
On December 2nd, 2017, our Boston Bar RCMP members Phil, Darren and Robert collected approximately 800 lbs. of food and received over $3,000.00 in cash donations and vouchers. What a wonderfully successful annual event this has turned out to be!
Thank you to our local RCMP, to George, Kevin, Janet and staff of Canyon Tirecraft for use of their lot and the delicious Pancake Breakfast (and to Ainslie Creek Enterprises for donating the "Stuff the Cruiser" sign.)
And a very heartfelt THANKS goes to our very generous community!
