Where to pay tribute this Remembrance Day
NANAIMO — Remembrance day ceremonies throughout the mid island have grown in profile over the past several years as we pay tribute to the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
This year, expected favourable weather will likely draw six-to-eight thousand people to downtown Nanaimo on Sunday, Nov. 11 at the Dallas Square Cenotaph located at 85 Church St.
The formal ceremony at Dallas Square War Memorial begins with a parade march from the north end of Front St. to the Cenotaph shortly before 11 a.m. A military aircraft from CFB Comox will fly over, while dignitaries will lay wreaths and the signature Front St. cannon will fire.
Road closures impacting portions of Commercial, Skinner, Chapel, Bastion, Church and Front Streets will be in effect. More specific road closure details are available here.
