Surrey Honours Veterans with Remembrance Day Ceremonies Citywide
On Tuesday, Nov. 11, Surrey will host several events to commemorate Remembrance Day, recognising the service, courage, and sacrifice of Canada’s veterans.
“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.”

- Visitors to Surrey Centre Cemetery can place a carnation at veteran memorials starting at 10:45 a.m.
