1. CFB Gagetown Range Control
advised today that for those planning to travel
to the New Jerusalem Cenotaph on Nov. 11 via
Blue Mountain/Olinville Rd, - once on the Base
they will need to take the Elder Jackson Rd as
the Yorkshire Rd is not in good shape and cars
especially won't be able to travel on it. Range
Control plans to put barricades and detour signs
to direct vehicles.
2. For those planning to
attend the Remembrance Day supper at the Orange
Hall, Queenstown - it is pot luck. Regret that I
did not know this earlier or I would have passed
it on sooner.
