Join us: Vaughan’s Remembrance Day service is Nov. 11 at the Woodbridge Cenotaph
Every year, at the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month, we honour the brave Canadians who served and continue to serve our country.
On Saturday, Nov. 11, starting at 10:45 a.m., Mayor Steven Del Duca and Members of Council will host a Remembrance Day service at the Woodbridge Cenotaph (80 Wallace St.) to commemorate the brave Canadians who risked – and, in many cases, lost – their lives during times of war, conflict and peace.
Members of the public are invited to attend the ceremony and are welcome to join us at the Woodbridge Memorial Pool and Arena (5020 Hwy 7) for refreshments following the service. Please note, Wallace Street will be closed from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. that day, and parking will be available at Woodbridge Memorial Pool and Arena.
As a reflection of the City's commitment to commemorate the remarkable service and sacrifice of Vaughan residents, Mayor Del Duca and Members of Council proclaimed the month of November "Remembrance Month" in perpetuity.
Throughout November, you are encouraged to share thoughts of remembrance and messages of peace on the City of Vaughan’s poppy wall. You can also view this year’s exhibit, Families in Arms, which features families from Vaughan, both at home and abroad. This City-curated exhibit explores the impact of war on soldiers and those they left behind. The exhibit will be on display at City Hall until Friday, Nov. 17. It will also be available to view online at vaughan.ca/RemembranceMonth. The online exhibit features additional photos and details not included in the in-person exhibit.
