The wake and funeral of the late Justin Roy, Manitoulin’s last Second World War veteran, will take place as follows:

Wake: from 10 am on Monday, January 13.

Funeral Mass: at 10 am on Tuesday, January 14, followed by burial at M’Chigeeng Cemetery.

The wake and funeral will take place at the M’Chigeeng Complex, 52 Hwy 551 in M’Chigeeng.

Please note: these days and dates differ from the Page 1 story and death notice in the printed version of the Manitoulin Expositor dated January 8, 2025. Initial plans were revised too late for the paper’s Monday press deadline and the change came as a result of additional time required to transfer Mr. Roy’s remains from Arizona to M’Chigeeng.
