Communities Prepare To Mark Remembrance Day

Tuesday, November 10, 2026 at 8:16 AM

By Jay Herrington

Communities across Canada are preparing to mark Remembrance Day on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and current members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Communities across the Comox Valley and Campbell River will gather tomorrow for Remembrance Day ceremonies honouring those who served and sacrificed for their country.

The day provides an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by Canadian Armed Forces members, remember those who never returned home and thank the veterans who did.

In Comox, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 160 will host the community’s ceremony. The parade begins at 10:30 a.m., followed by the laying of wreaths at the Comox cenotaph at 10:45. A flypast is scheduled to follow the wreath-laying ceremony.

A portion of Comox Avenue will be closed to traffic beginning at 10 a.m. to accommodate the events.

In Campbell River, the Remembrance Day service will take place at the cenotaph in Spirit Square. Courtenay’s ceremony will be held at the cenotaph in Jubilee Square.

In Cumberland, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 28 will lead the community’s service outside the Legion on Dunsmuir Avenue.
