The City of Port Colborne will observe Remembrance Day on Wednesday, Nov. 11, honouring the service of veterans and remembering those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms of Canadians.
Two ceremonies will take place in Port Colborne, both beginning at 10:30 a.m.:
- H.H. Knoll Lakeview Park: The City of Port Colborne and Royal Canadian Legion Branch 56 invite the community to attend a ceremony at the Port Colborne Cenotaph, 160 Sugarloaf St. The ceremony will be livestreamed on the City’s Facebook and YouTube channels.
- Centennial – Cedar Bay Park: The City of Port Colborne and St. John’s Lutheran Church welcome the community to attend a ceremony at the Township of Humberstone Cenotaph, 2767 Vimy Rd.
Residents are also invited to take a moment to reflect at the Port Colborne Historical & Marine Museum and Roselawn Centre, where hundreds of handmade crocheted poppies are on display to honour veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Donated by the Niagara Falls History Museums, the poppies are accompanied by nameplates bearing the names of Port Colborne’s fallen soldiers.
City administrative offices will be closed on Nov. 11 to observe Remembrance Day.
