This important annual event honours and remembers Canadian service personnel who gave their lives in the service of our country.
Every year, there is a Remembrance Day parade that features several hundred marchers, including veterans, Canadian Armed Forces members and representatives from public safety agencies and cadet organizations.
The parade begins at 10:20 am, official ceremonies at the City Hall cenotaph begin at 10:40 a.m. and a two minute silence is observed at 11:00 a.m., which is then followed by wreath-laying.
The public is always invited to come out and attend this impressive ceremony.
The Annual Remembrance Day reception will be held in the City Hall Galleria following the ceremony. This is a free event where people can warm up with a hot drink and something sweet, talk about the ceremony and connect with other community members, and view a number of interesting Remembrance Day displays put together by the City of Richmond Archives and the Friends of the Richmond Archives. Receptions guests will also be treated to music by Richmond Peace Children’s Choir.
