Peterborough will pause to remember on November 11th, with the major public commemoration again held at the Cenotaph in Confederation Park.
Organized and hosted by Branch 52 of the Royal Canadian Legion, the 10:30 a.m. service will be preceded at 10 a.m. by a veterans’ parade in the downtown core.
Prior to the moment of silence at 11 a.m., Mayor Jeff Leal and past Legion president Joel Chandler will speak, followed later in the ceremony by invited guest speaker Peterborough police chief Stuart Betts.
In Peterborough, the Veterans Wall of Honour in Confederation Square is inscribed with the names of 10,382 men and women who served Canada in the First and Second World Wars as well as the Korean War.
