BURLINGTON, ON
The 2021 Remembrance Day ceremony will again be virtual and will be live-streamed at burlingtonlegion.com, beginning at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11. Please do not go to the Burlington Cenotaph.
The Royal Canadian Legion and veterans are asking residents to stay home and stream the ceremony online. Only those directly involved in delivering the ceremony will be at the Cenotaph.
To view the live streaming, go to burlingtonlegion.com at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 11, 2021. The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. The ceremony will also be available for viewing afterward.
The 35-minute ceremony will include a colour guard, two minutes of silence, music performed by some members of the Burlington Teen Tour Band and a reading of In Flanders Fields.
The 9 a.m. ceremony at the Naval Monument in Spencer Smith Park is open to the public.
Hope you,ll change your mind about having REMEMBRANCE Day parade . The soldiers never cared whether weather or pandemic or their safety just to save us and our terrific country.
We have to thank them in this small way just an hour only once a year .
Please rethink it’s not too late to show “thank you” and love of being a proud Canadian
What a shame, yet another year we are unable to stand together to remember those who lost their lives for us.
However, even if we cannot be there in person, whether in private or public at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, we can observe solemnity.
Sadly, this is exactly the kind of thing I would expect from Burlington.
Pathetic disrespect for our veterans ……City Council including the Mayor need to change this immediately
Ridiculous
