Langley City invites people to attend Douglas Park on November 11th to remember those who died in service to our country.
Gathering around the cenotaph symbolizes the traditional military night vigil, an act of honouring those who have died in service.
Mark your calendar for this year's ceremony as follows.
Date: November 11th, 2023
Time: Starts at 10:50 am sharp, so please arrive early
Location: Douglas Park Cenotaph - 20550 Douglas Crescent
Douglas Crescent and Park Avenue will be closed to motor vehicle traffic around Douglas Park from 6:30 am until 1:00 pm.
For those who cannot attend in person, the City produced an online ceremony, which you can watch at any time.
Many people and organizations lay wreaths as part of the act of honouring and remembrance. You can purchase these wreaths from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #6 in Cloverdale. Further information about purchasing and informing the City that you will be laying a wreath is available on the City's Remembrance Day webpage.
Lest We Forget.
