Colours Laid Up

The colours were removed from the protestant Chapel at CFB Clinton and laid up in the Wesley-Willis United Church in the town of Clinton. The base was due to close on 31 August. After the ceremony, Major Frank Golding, Clinton’s final commanding officer, said: “To those present today and to all who will worship in this church in the future, may these symbols serve as a valuable reminder of the friendship that has existed between the townsfolk of Clinton and the military for the past 30 years.”
