Unofficial Remembrance Day ceremony hijacked by anti-vaccine crowd
With no official event at Kelowna's City Park for Remembrance Day, an unofficial ceremony took place that led to chaos.
Hundreds of people were in attendance for the event, which included a number of veterans. Following a rendition of "The Last Post" on a bugle and a reading of "In Flander's Fields," anti-vaccine activists took over the proceedings.
This brought about boos from the crowd. People began to shout down a woman who brought out her own microphone to speak on COVID-19.
Then a struggle began as people attempted to unplug her microphone.
Among those who stepped in to interrupt the anti-vaccine speech was Legionnaire Ken Hoegson.
"Everyone of us that came here were violated today," said Hoegson.
"We're here to remember the people that gave them that freedom that they're using, but they're abusing it," he said.
Many residents were outraged, noting it was "not the place" for this demonstration.
"I did find it very hurtful. That's why I felt I had to go up there and speak to them."
The RCMP stepped in to restore order.
