November 11 is Remembrance Day, originally called Armistice Day. The date marks the end of hostilities during the First World War, as well as honouring all those who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace.
Regina will see two Remembrance Day services in 2024 —one at the Brandt Centre and one at the Victoria Park Cenotaph.
