Remembrance Day will look very different this year, and while a ceremony will be held at the National War Memorial on Duckworth Street, it will be closed to the public.
Instead, the capital city and Royal Canadian Legion are asking residents to pay their respects and observe a moment of silence at their front door.
Mayor Danny Breen says at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11, they are asking residents to step outside their homes and observe two minutes of silence for fallen soldiers, veterans, and those who continue to serve.
The Legion is encouraging residents to wear a poppy and consider decorating their windows and doors with poppies as a safe way to participate in Remembrance Day at Home.
To recognize Remembrance Day the @RoyalCdnLegion & the City encourage citizens to decorate your windows with poppies and observe a moment of silence at your front door on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m.https://t.co/D2vF7b2Xx0#LestWeForget #GetYourPoppy pic.twitter.com/EiLFWK6MFw
