The week of Nov. 5 to 11 is Veterans’ Week,
an opportunity for Canadians to recognize the extraordinary efforts and
sacrifices of our veterans. It is a truly national undertaking with ceremonies,
activities and commemorative events taking place across the country.

To our veterans and their families, thank
you for answering the call to serve and for making Canada and the world a
better place to live. Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, marks the final day of
Veterans’ Week and recalls the end of hostilities during the First World War on
that date in 1918. At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh
month, Canadians gather wherever they are and observe a moment of silence to
remember those who have fallen in the line of duty and to recognize their
service to our country.In towns across Canada we remember
those who served our country during wartime. The Port Coquitlam Royal Canadian
Legion Branch 133 will hold its annual Remembrance Day service and parade in
downtown Port Coquitlam. In our new Veterans Square.

Veterans and officials will parade through Shaughnessy
St. from Wilson Ave. to McAllister Ave. at 10am, ending at the cenotaph in
Veterans Park for a wreath-laying service. If you are able, join your local ceremony so that the veterans and their families can see that we will never forget their sacrifice and service to us.
