Joyce Meikle, 88

Joyce Meikle attends the NS International Tattoo!

Joyce Meikle has been attending the NS International Tattoo, since the very first show in 1979. And a pandemic wasn’t going to stop her from carrying on this tradition.

The Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo is a staple in the Meikle family. Joyce Meikle, who has never missed a Tattoo since the very first show in 1979, was extremely saddened to hear that the 2020 show was cancelled due to COVID-19.

With the love of her family, a request was made by her 5 grandchildren to bring the Tattoo to her. Through the work of the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo and the Canadian Armed Forces, a special show was presented to Nanny Joyce Meikle on June 18th, 2020.

“the Royal Nanny International Tattoo”, featured performances by the Stadacona Band of the Royal Canadian Navy, 12 Wing Shearwater Pipes & Drums and the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo Highland Dance Team! We Are Young was honoured to help support this wish!
