The City of Vancouver’s Remembrance Day ceremony is still going ahead this year under COVID-19, but it will look different.
Officials are asking residents to “remember in place” at home and watch the public service online.
Victory Square, where hundreds usually gather every year to remember those who fought for Canada, will be closed, the city said in a news release on Wednesday, and there will be no parade or screens for viewing the ceremony on site.
A limited number of official wreaths will be placed at the Cenotaph and the public is asked not to gather to place poppies on the memorial.
