Monday - November 10 - A week to Remember

A moment to pause, reflect, and honour those who served and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.

🌧 High 9C

Good morning.

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day—a moment to pause, reflect, and honour those who served and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Across the Fraser Valley, communities will gather to remember. If you’re able, I encourage you to attend a ceremony near you. In today’s feature, we’ve outlined when and where they’re taking place across the region.

Lest we forget.
