Remembrance Day ceremonies across Cambridge

As Remembrance Day approaches, we pause to reflect on the sacrifices made by Canadians in service to our country and recognize the dedication of those who have served and continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces and the Royal Canadian Legion.

On Wednesday, November 11, City flags will be flown at half-mast, and members of the community are encouraged to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. to show gratitude for the courage and sacrifice of our veterans and soldiers.
