Saanich, BC – Saanich’s 2021 Remembrance Day ceremony is closed to the public due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, there’s still an opportunity to watch the event via Facebook Live.

“It’s important we take time to reflect and remember those who lost their lives for our freedom,” said Mayor Fred Haynes. “Please join us online on November 11 to remember and recognize the sacrifices of these brave Canadians.”
