Innisfil, ON – Community members are invited to commemorate the sacrifices of Canadian veterans at Remembrance Day ceremonies happening across Innisfil.

Services are taking place at the:

  • Royal Canadian Legion Branch 547 Lefroy/Belle Ewart (1017 Robinson Street) – Saturday, November 5 at 10:30 a.m.

“We invite all members of the community to join us as we gather for Remembrance Day services at Town Hall and other locations in Innisfil,” says Mayor Lynn Dollin. “I hope all residents will take a moment to pause and honour the service, courage and sacrifice of our veterans and current members of the Canadian Forces.”

The Innisfil Remembrance Day Committee helps organize the annual service at Town Hall to provide an opportunity for residents to pause and reflect on the role that Innisfil’s citizens have played in protecting and preserving Canada’s freedoms in times of war, conflict and peace.

In recognition of Veterans’ Week (November 5-11) and Remembrance Day, patrons of the Innisfil ideaLAB & Library will notice a cut-out silhouette of a soldier at each branch surrounded with laser-cut poppies. On these poppies, visitors are invited to write the name of a veteran or loved one who is currently serving in the armed forces, or a few words of thanks or remembrance.
