WINNIPEG -- COVID-19 has forced many Manitobans to cancel their Remembrance Day plans, but the pandemic is not stopping some from virtually honouring and remembering the sacrifices made by our veterans.

Remembrance Day is coming up on Wednesday, Nov.11, and many groups across the province are hosting virtual live-streamed services for Manitobans to participate in.

Here is how you can join a Remembrance Day service this year:

  • HMCS Chippawa - Manitoba's Naval Reserve Division is holding a virtual video service beginning at 10:30 a.m. on November 11. You can watch the service live here.
