Manitoba Legions to hold Remembrance Day ceremonies

WINNIPEG -

On the eleventh day of the eleventh month, Remembrance Day ceremonies across the country mark the sacrifice of those who have fallen and honour veterans who still stand.

This year, many larger ceremonies have been cancelled due to pandemic restrictions, including the ceremony at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg.

In Brandon, there will be a Remembrance Day service at the Keystone Centre similar to the ones pre-pandemic, but will follow all current Manitoba public health orders.

The Royal Canadian Legion will be going ahead with several smaller ceremonies at its branches.
