Honouring Our Veterans in Toronto on Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day ceremonies are a way of honouring our veterans by offering sombre, poignant opportunities to reflect. Moreover, we should strive 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.
