Remembrance Day ceremonies are a way of honouring our veterans by offering thoughtful and poignant opportunities for the entire country’s citizen to pause and reflect. Furthermore, this day gives us the opportunity to try to understand the service given and sacrifices made during wartime (and every day) by our military personnel. Find ceremonies in Toronto and the GTA to honour everyone affected by war this Remembrance Day.
