The Royal Canadian Legion is welcoming back one of the most iconic aspects of Canada’s national Remembrance Day ceremony following a two-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic: the veterans‘ parade.

Involving veterans of all ages and backgrounds, the parade is one of the most tangible ways for those who have served in uniform to honour fallen comrades—and for Canadians to express appreciation for their service.
