SURREY – Surrey residents came together Monday to honour the courage and sacrifice of Canada’s veterans in a series of Remembrance Day ceremonies held throughout the city. Residents gathered at key locations to pay their respects and reflect on the legacy of those who served.
Ceremonies were held at Veterans Square in Cloverdale, Surrey Centre Cemetery, the Whalley Cenotaph, and the Royal Canadian Legion’s Crescent Branch, with the largest gathering at Veterans Square. The observance included a solemn procession, the laying of wreaths, and a respectful two-minute silence observed at 11 a.m. in memory of fallen soldiers. Community members wore poppies as a symbol of remembrance and joined in a moment of unity to express their gratitude.
“Today, we gathered as a community to honour the courage and sacrifice of our veterans on Remembrance Day,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “It was a deeply moving ceremony and I thank all who participated. Let us continue to remember and reflect throughout the year on the bravery that has shaped our freedom.”
For those unable to attend in person, a recording of the Veterans Square ceremony is available on the City of Surrey’s Heritage Services Facebook page, allowing all to participate in remembering Canada’s heroes.
Observed each November 11, Remembrance Day marks the end of the First World War and is a time to recognize the men and women who have served Canada in times of war, conflict, and peace. Traditions such as the playing of the Last Post, the recitation of In Flanders Fields, and two minutes of silence offer Canadians a meaningful way to reflect on the sacrifices made by veterans and their families.
