Sunnybrook - Remembrance Day Cenotaph Ceremony

What does Sunnybrook do to honour remembrance day?

Each year, Veterans and their families attend a special Remembrance Day service on November 11th in Warrior’s Hall. Local government representatives, Veterans Affairs Canada and Royal Canadian Legion members also attend. After the service, Veterans, family members, health care professionals, volunteers and invited guests move outside for the laying of the memorial wreaths at the historic Sunnybrook Cenotaph on Bayview Avenue.
