The first Remembrance Day ceremony will take place at Lethbridge Exhibition Park South Pavilion from 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.

Next, the public is invited to participate at the Lethbridge Cenotaph at noon.

The Royal Canadian Air Force C-17 Globemaster of the 429 Squadron is scheduled to perform a flyover of the Lethbridge Cenotaph at approximately 12:15 p.m.

After the ceremonies, The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 4 will open their doors at 1 p.m. with members and guests being invited for socialization and a performance by the Taiko Drum Association.

Jeff Alden, Legion Manager and 26 year Veteran says that this time of the year is especially important for next generations to take in important history lessons.
