The City of Lethbridge has announced its plans for the upcoming Remembrance Day ceremony, a poignant tribute to the men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country. The ceremony will be held on November 11th, 2023, at the Lethbridge Cenotaph in Galt Gardens.

A Ceremony Filled with Respect and Remembrance

This year's ceremony promises to be a moving and respectful event, featuring:

• A traditional parade: Led by the Lethbridge Pipe Band, the parade will start at 10:30 am and proceed to the Cenotaph.
• A wreath-laying ceremony: Representatives from various organizations and community groups will lay wreaths in honor of the fallen.
• Musical performances: The Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra will perform patriotic music, adding an emotional layer to the ceremony.
• Speeches by dignitaries: Local leaders will share heartfelt speeches reflecting on the importance of Remembrance Day and the sacrifices made by our veterans.

Honoring the Legacy of Service and Sacrifice

The Remembrance Day ceremony is a time for our community to come together and honor the brave individuals who have defended our freedoms. It is a reminder of the immense sacrifices made by soldiers, sailors, airmen and women, and those who continue to serve in the present day.

This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. Whether you are a veteran, family member of a veteran, or simply a citizen who values freedom and peace, your presence at the ceremony is deeply appreciated.

Beyond the Ceremony: Supporting Our Veterans Year-Round

Remembrance Day is not just a single day of commemoration; it is a year-round commitment to supporting our veterans and their families. The City of Lethbridge encourages residents to:

• Engage with local veteran organizations: Connect with groups like the Royal Canadian Legion and the Lethbridge Veteran's Association.
• Volunteer your time: Offer assistance to veterans and their families through various community initiatives.
