Some Stories Are Bigger Than the Road: Dan and Scott Pause to Remember

By Scott Arnold

On Remembrance Day, Dan and Scott put their usual adventures on hold to reflect, remember and honour those who served, including a 100-year-old Peterborough veteran whose story is one worth hearing.

Rather than visiting a local attraction or taking on another friendly competition, this special Remembrance Day episode of Drive PTBO takes a more meaningful turn.

Dan and Scott begin at the Peterborough cenotaph, where they discover the names of Dan's own relatives among those remembered for their service and sacrifice.

Their visit continues at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52, where they sit down with Sheila Davidson and 100-year-old Una Golding, a Second World War veteran and longtime Legionnaire.

It's an opportunity to hear from those who understand the importance of remembrance firsthand, while recognizing the people and stories that should never be forgotten.

Peterborough Mitsubishi is also helping honour local veterans by covering the cost of their lunches at the Legion throughout the week.

Some episodes are about discovering what makes this community special. This one is about remembering the people whose sacrifices helped make everything we enjoy today possible.
