Join Bill Kelly, as 900 CHML broadcasts live from Gore Park, Remembrance Day from 9 until Noon. The Hamilton Municipal Cemeteries, and CHML, salute the heroes of our nation. Some who triumphed, some who perished but all who stood tall in the name of freedom.
In recognition of Remembrance Day, Hamilton will honour and remember our veterans and all who served Canada during time of war, armed conflict and peace. The public is invited to join Veterans at services and parades planned across the city on Remembrance Day, Sun. Nov. 11, 2018.
The downtown service at Gore Park on Nov. 11 is the official City of Hamilton service and includes a military parade from the James Street Armouries starting at 10:15 a.m. with the service scheduled to commence at 10:45 a.m.
New this year:
- an LED video screen will project live footage of the service for attendees at the Gore Park service.
