Watch the Remembrance Day service online on this Facebook page at 10:45am November 11th, or click on the link below to watch on YouTube. https://aurora.ca/remembranceday

As we approach Remembrance Day, it is a time to reflect, to honour and to show our gratitude to all of the men and women who sacrificed, served, fought and died... for our freedom. It is also a time to pay tribute to the important and on-going role of those who serve our country through military service today. As you drive or walk around Town this month, I encourage you to look for the Aurora Legion’s Veteran Banners that hang from the lampposts on Yonge Street in our historic downtown. Due to the excellent response, this year these banners have also been placed along Wellington St., east of John West Way. What a wonderful way to continue to honour our veterans and share Aurora’s history. I have received a number of questions regarding this year’s Remembrance Day events. Unfortunately, like many aspects of our daily lives, Remembrance Day 2020 will be different. Due to COVID-19 and the public health restrictions in place, the annual Remembrance Day parade, which would normally be taking place this coming Sunday, has been cancelled. I know how much our community looks forward to this annual parade and paying homage to our veterans in this very heartfelt way, but unfortunately, given the current situation, this is simply not possible. Changes have also been made to the service. The Aurora Legion will host a Remembrance Day Service on Wednesday, November 11 at 10:45 a.m., however in keeping with public health guidelines, including limiting gathering sizes and physical distancing, only those directly involved in delivering the ceremony will be at the Cenotaph. Spectators are asked not to attend and instead join us virtually at 10:45 a.m. The service will be live-streamed via The Town of Aurora’s Facebook and YouTube accounts, as well as the Aurora Legion’s Facebook page, making the ceremony available for all residents to safely experience from their homes. This year’s commemorations will undoubtedly be more intimate than in year’s past, but through the virtual Remembrance Day service we can still pay our respects, pause to reflect, and recognize the sacrifices of the brave women and men who fought to leave our world a little better than they found it. We would not be here without them. Lest we forget.

Start watching the Live video of the Remembrance Day service starting at 17:30.

Today marks the beginning of #VeteransWeek. A time to honour and remember those who have served Canada, in times of war, military conflict, and peace. This year... also marks 75 years of the end of the Second World War.
