Chandigarh, November 11

The Consulate General of Canada and the British High Commission today hosted a joint Remembrance Day ceremony in memory of the armed forces of the UK, Canada and India, who died serving their countries.

The event was attended by Consul General of Canada, Patrick Hebert, British Deputy High Commissioner, Caroline Rowett, Canada’s Defence Attache Colonel Todd Braithwaite, UK Defence Adviser Brigadier Nick Sawyer, veterans from the tricity, cadets from Maharaja Ranjit Singh Armed Forces Preparatory Institute and Mai Bhago Armed Forces Preparatory Institute and officials.

Consul General Hebert and Deputy High Commissioner Rowett paid tributes to the soldiers who lost their lives defending freedom, peace and democracy in the world.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
