Beginning at 10 a.m., join Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua and Members of Council at the 2020 Remembrance Day virtual event at vaughan.ca/live.
Vaughan’s annual Remembrance Day event is an initiative led by the Office of the City Clerk and the City’s Archives and Records Management Services division. It serves as a reminder to pause, reflect on and honour the heroic individuals who went to war to fight for peace and freedom. In addition to formal remarks of remembrance from Mayor Bevilacqua and others, the 2020 virtual event will feature an online exhibit for participants to view from the comfort and safety of home. This year’s exhibit offers a glimpse into the experiences of those who lived during and beyond the World Wars, including the struggles, impact on everyday life and associated triumphs. Through this exhibit, the City will recognize and commemorate the contributions of both soldiers and those on the home front by sharing these unique perspectives.
Citizens can also pay tribute to veterans and soldiers by sharing personal thoughts of gratitude and remembrance on the City’s virtual Poppy Wall. Digital messages will be collected until Wednesday, Nov. 11 and then featured in an online display.
As Vaughan continues to take a disciplined, responsible and measured approach to reopening the city, precautionary measures remain in place to protect citizens from further transmission of COVID-19. Essential services continue uninterrupted and many programs, services and events have been reintroduced through online, teleconference or modified in-person methods – including this annual Remembrance Day commemoration.
