Canadians who wish to pay tribute to veterans who sacrificed their lives for the country, and those who still serve, can choose to attend in-person Remembrance Day ceremonies this year in some cities, rather than watching the events on TV or online due to COVID-19 measures.

Ottawa

The Royal Canadian Legion has announced Canadians are welcome to attend the national Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa on Nov. 11. The Legion said it was made possible due to the changes to crowd restrictions by the Ontario government and the City of Ottawa.

Attendees will need to wear masks and observe social distancing measures.
