British Columbia

Since the opening of the War Memorial Gym in 1951, The University of British Columbia has held a ceremony commemorating November 11. This year, 2024 will mark seventy-four years that the University of British Columbia has hosted a Remembrance Day ceremony. This special ceremony is an opportunity for faculty, staff, students and members of the on and off-campus community to honour and remember all those who served in times of war, military conflict and peace.

The City of Delta, in partnership with the Kennedy Seniors Society, invites you and your family to attend the Remembrance Day Ceremony at Social Heart Plaza. Refreshments to follow in the Main Hall at North Delta Recreation Centre. Lest We Forget.

The Abbotsford Canucks will be hosting a commemorative puck drop to bring their communities together in a powerful and moving display of national pride and remembrance. Commemorative puck drops are a wonderful way for the hockey community to share in the important task of commemoration by paying tribute to the Veterans who have made our way of life possible.

Join us as we honor the courageous men and women who have served our country. This special performance will take place at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium on Sunday November 10, 2024 at 2:00pm. Come and enjoy an afternoon of beautiful music dedicated to our Canadian heroes, with a focus on the 100th anniversary of the RCAF and the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Don't miss out on this heartfelt tribute! We will feature our Sunset Ceremony, the amazing piper Marcus Range, and the beautiful voices of the Abbotsford Homeschool Choir.

At Canadian Memorial United Church, our rich history spans 96 years of dedication to our community, and we are honoured to continue this legacy of service and remembrance.
