Remembrance Day is a time to remember the men and women who have served our country in times of war, conflict and peace. It is a day to honour their sacrifices and to recommit ourselves to the cause of peace.
There are many ways to mark Remembrance Day in the Peace Region. Here are a few suggestions:
- Attend a Remembrance Day ceremony at a local cenotaph. Many communities in the Peace Region will be holding ceremonies on November 11th. Check your local newspaper or website for details.

- Visit a local museum. Many museums in the Peace Region will be hosting Remembrance Day exhibits.
If you are unable to attend a Remembrance Day event in person, there are many other ways to mark the day.
- Wear a poppy. Poppies are a symbol of Remembrance Day. You can purchase a poppy at your local legion or other participating businesses.
