A Remembrance Day ceremony will be held Monday morning at the cenotaph, located on the east side of City Hall Monday.
A military parade will start marching from Minoru Park towards the city hall cenotaph at 10:20 a.m. The parade includes the Royal Canadian Legion, Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Association members, representation from public safety agencies and cadet organizations, a colour party and a veterans platoon.
The official ceremonies at the cenotaph will begin at 10:40 a.m. There will be two minutes of silence at 11 a.m., which will be followed by wreath-laying.
After the ceremonies are complete, the parade will march off and the public is invited to a Remembrance Day reception in the city hall galleria.
This is a free event where people can listen to music by the R.C. Palmer vocal jazz ensemble and essonance chamber choir, as well as warm up with coffee and snacks.
There will also be a Remembrance Day display assembled by the City of Richmond Archives, Friends of the Richmond Archives and Richmond Public Library.
Portions of No. 3 Road near City Hall will be closed for approximately two and a half hours to facilitate the event.
There will be minimal temporary traffic disruption along Granville Avenue and Minoru Boulevard during the post ceremony parade.
The service will be simulcast into City Hall Council Chambers for those who may not be able to stand outside for the service.
