No Stone Left Alone Initiative Gives Youth Opportunity to Honour Veterans
The No Stone Left Alone program provides a framework for youth to plan, lead and participate in hands-on, outdoor remembrance events in their communities. The program focuses on exploring local cemeteries to learn more about the military veterans at rest there, and then honouring those individuals by placing poppies on their headstones in a unique event.
