Remembrance Day in Regina marked by two services

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.

People are asked to arrive at the Victoria Park Cenotaph by 10:30 a.m.  for a parade at 10:45 followed by the service, which usually takes less than an hour. Private wreaths will be laid after civic wreaths.
