The City of Richmond honours the men and women who sacrificed their lives to serve and protect Canada. For those looking to reflect and commemorate together with the community, a Remembrance Day ceremony will take place on Tuesday, November 11 at Richmond City Hall, located at 6911 No. 3 Road.
Beginning at 10:20 a.m., the parade will feature units of Canadian veterans; members of the Royal Canadian Legion and Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada; Richmond's permanent Canadian Forces Unit 39 Service Battalion; representatives from public safety agencies; and cadet organizations.
Official ceremonies will begin at 10:40 a.m. at the City Hall cenotaph, located on the east side of City Hall. There will be two minutes of silence at 11 a.m., followed by wreath laying. Due to the nature of this event, attendees are requested to leave pets at home.
For those unable to attend in person, Richmond’s Remembrance Day ceremony will be available to view online. To watch the event live, click the “Watch Ceremony” button at richmond.ca/remember. A complete recording will also be available after the ceremony.
After the Remembrance Day service, the public is invited to attend a Remembrance Day reception inside City Hall. The reception will offer a space to warm up with a hot drink, talk about Remembrance Day and connect with other community members and volunteers. A number of Remembrance Day displays by the Richmond Museum, the City of Richmond Archives and the Friends of the Richmond Archives will also be available to view.
In order to facilitate the ceremony, streets will be closed and traffic patterns will be changed between 8 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. During this time, there will be restricted road access to the following roadways:
- Granville Avenue will be closed in both directions from Minoru Boulevard to Buswell Street.
- No. 3 Road will be closed in both directions from Park Road to Bennett Road.
This event is partially funded by Veterans Affairs Canada’s Commemorative Partnership Program.
