The Remembrance Day service will be held on Friday, November 11, 2016, at 11am. The procession will begin at the Streetsville Legion (101 Church St., Streetsville) at 10:30am and head down Queen Street to the Streetsville Village Square, where the ceremony will take place. Please note, part of Queen Street will be closed for the service and Main Street will be closed as well.
Please also be advised that the Army Cadets from the 105-7th Toronto Regiment Cadet Corps of Mississauga will once again conduct an overnight vigil at the Streetsville Cenotaph to pay tribute to the men and women of the Canadian Forces who served and continue to serve our country. The opening ceremony will begin at 9:00pm on November 10th 2016. There will be a change of the guard approximately every thirty minutes throughout the evening of November 10th, into the morning of November 11th 2016.
