Monday is Remembrance Day, which is held in Canada to honour those who lost their lives protecting our country. The day occurs annually on November 11, and a moment of silence is observed at 11 am to remember those who fought for our freedom.
Some services will be closed on November 11, while others may have adjusted hours.
Many ceremonies will be held across the city on Monday, and we have a list of those events here.
