A Remembrance Day ceremony was held in Downtown Vancouver on Wedensday, although it looked different than events of years past due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Officials asked residents to “remember in place” at home and watch the public service online.
Victory Square, where hundreds usually gather each year to remember those who fought for Canada, was closed to the public, with only a small number of dignitaries and veterans in attendance.
After two minutes of silence, there was a laying of wreaths. Everyone who took part wore masks.
