Last night, I had the honour of being a dignitary at the Field of Crosses event paying tribute to the Royal Canadian Navy.

Attending the evening flag lowering served as a powerful reminder of the incredible sacrifices made by our Canadian Armed Forces members and their families. For those who may not be able to attend a service on November 11th, the Field of Crosses offers a meaningful way to reflect. Daily sunrise and sunset ceremonies are held every morning and evening leading up to Remembrance Day, providing a quiet space to pay our respects.

Remembrance Day is a moment for all of us to pause, reflect, and honour the brave men and women who served, and continue to serve our country in the pursuit of peace and freedom. Their dedication and sacrifice carry a legacy we must never forget.

To help you find a place to commemorate near you, we are sharing a list of city-wide Remembrance Day events below:
