Surrey Honors Veterans with Citywide Remembrance Day Events
Several events will be held across Surrey on Tuesday, November 11, to pay tribute to Canada’s veterans, celebrating their service, bravery, and sacrifice.
“Remembrance Day is an opportunity for us to come together and reflect on the steadfast dedication of Canada’s veterans and those who continue to serve,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “Their legacy lives on in the freedoms we enjoy and the communities we build. I encourage everyone to take a moment during Veterans Week and on Remembrance Day to reflect and express appreciation for the commitment and courage of our veterans and service members.”
