Every year, Barrie’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch and the City of Barrie join communities across Canada in commemorating Remembrance Day. 

At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we observe a moment of silence to honour all who have fallen and acknowledge the courage of those who have served for our freedom.

Remembrance Day Vigil

As a symbolic act of remembrance, respect and guardianship, Cadets from the Air, Army, Sea and Navy League cadet corps in Barrie will stand vigil at the Barrie Cenotaph in Memorial Square.

Remembrance Day Parade & Ceremony

The ceremony will commence shortly after 10am with the parade marching on Dunlop Street East from Mulcaster Street to the Barrie Cenotaph in Memorial Square.
