The City of Toronto is honouring veterans in a number of ways during Remembrance Week, which is being held from Nov. 5 to 11.
The week is set aside to highlight, “the courage and sacrifices of those who gave their lives in service to Canada, and those who continue to serve in the Canadian Forces and as part of United Nations peacekeeping missions,” according to a city news release.
"Every day, we are reminded of the realities of war and the value of peace, but especially during this week, we are called to never forget the lives lost in the pursuit of freedom.
I look forward to joining Torontonians in paying our respects, taking time to reflect, and remembering the fallen and those left behind," Chow said in a release.
On Remembrance Day, a Canadian flag that used to fly at Vimy Ridge will be raised at Coronation Park, while a City of Toronto flag that flew on Vimy Day at Juno Beach will be raised at city hall.
Some of the ceremonies will include, weather permitting, an aerial salute to pay respect to fallen veterans through the “missing man formation.”
