Surrey honours veterans with Remembrance Day ceremonies citywide
To mark Remembrance Day, the City of Surrey will host several events on Tuesday, November 11, to honour the service, courage, and sacrifices of Canada’s veterans and active service members.
“Remembrance Day is an opportunity for us to come together and reflect on the steadfast dedication of Canada’s veterans and those who continue to serve,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “Their legacy lives on in the freedoms we enjoy and the communities we build. I encourage everyone to take a moment during Veterans Week and on Remembrance Day to reflect and express appreciation for the commitment and courage of our veterans and service members.”
Residents are encouraged to arrive early to secure parking or use alternative transportation options such as cycling or public transit.
