of the sun, communities across Canada will mark the 100th anniversary of
the end of the First World War with the ringing of 100 bells. The ringing
of bells emulates the moment in 1918 when church bells across Europe tolled
as four years of war had come to an end. Dorchester United will lead a
prayer and ring our bell 100 times with other bells around the village,
province, and country.
