City residents wanting to pay their respects and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice on Wednesday, Nov. 11, will have a couple of options.

On Remembrance Day, the Grande Prairie Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans of Canada Unit will have a parade leaving from the Trinity Lutheran Church to the Cenotaph in Jubilee Park for a ceremony starting at 10:50 a.m.

A luncheon is also being planned at ANAVETS following the ceremony “to come together in fellowship as we remember and honour all those who served and sacrificed for our country.”

On Wednesday, the Grande Prairie Legion Branch #54 will also hold its annual Remembrance Day ceremony at Bonnetts Energy Centre.

The City is inviting residents to attend and “come together to honour Canada’s Veterans and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.”

Mayor Jackie Clayton says, “Remembrance Day reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who have served our country and the importance of ensuring their stories are never forgotten.”

Veterans, serving members and local organizations, including the Royal Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadets, the Grande Prairie Legion #54 Pipe and Drum Band, Grande Prairie & District Pipes and Drums, members of the Grande Prairie Police Service, Girl Guides and Scouts, will all take part in the ceremony.

Doors for the Legion’s Remembrance Day ceremony will open at 9:45 a.m., with the ceremony starting at 10:30 a.m.

The City noted that in the morning, transit routes 1, 3 and 8 will drop residents off at a temporary bus stop at Bonnetts Energy Centre.
