REMEMBRANCE DAY

The cabbagetown BIA Invites you to Gather for Remembrance Day. 11 November 10:15 AM Parliament and Carlton Street

We would like to extend an invitation to all our community members to join us at The Annual Cabbagetown Remembrance Day Ceremony on Monday, November 11th, 2024 at 10:15 am.

Hosted by The Cabbagetown BIA, the open community gathering will observe Remembrance Day with a heartfelt ceremony featuring a trumpet performance as well as readings by elected officials, local business owners, and community members paying tribute to Canadian veterans.

A moment of silence will be observed at 11:00am, providing attendees with the opportunity to reflect on the significance of Remembrance Day and to remember those who have given their lives and livelihoods in service to Canada and peace around the world.

Following the ceremony, Gilles Huot of the Cabbagetown Preservation Association will lead an optional tour of military graves at the Toronto Necropolis, where people can pay their respects to fallen soldiers.

Light refreshments will be offered to all attendees providing an opportunity for neighbours to come together and share stories.

We could not host this event without the support of our local community business sponsors, found below.
