On Remembrance Day we must honour those who have fallen and paid the ultimate price.
That from Premier Brian Gallant in his Remembrance Day message. Gallant says every day Canadian soldiers, including many New Brunswickers, put their lives at risk so we can enjoy the rights and freedoms many do not.
He points to the deaths of Constables Dave Ross, Doug Larche and Fabrice Gevaudan in Moncton earlier this year, along with the attacks in Ottawa and Quebec, saying these shocking events remind us we owe a great deal to anyone willing to put on a uniform and stand in front of our enemies and protect us.
Saint John’s Remembrance Day ceremony will be held at Harbour station. You can arrive any time after 9:45 am with the parade assembling at 10:15. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of WWI and to observe it Saint John poet Dr. Robert Moore will read “In Flanders Fields”.
Everyone is encouraged to be in their seats by 10:40am.
There will be parking at Harbour Station, and also free parking at the new indoor parking garage across the street from Harbour Station.
In the Kennebecasis Valley, the ceremony is at the QPlex with doors opening at 9:30 and you are asked to be seated by 10:30.
