Remembrance Day Ceremonies Across the Fraser Valley
November 11 is a day to pause, reflect, and remember the men and women who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. Across the Fraser Valley, communities will gather at cenotaphs, legions, and memorial parks to honour their legacy.
If you’re looking for a place to attend with your family, here’s a list of local ceremonies happening throughout the Valley.
