Traditional Remembrance Day celebrations in Manitoba have undergone some changes this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related health restrictions, but there are still a number of ways you can pay your respects on Nov. 11, if you’re planning to visit your local Royal Canadian Legion branch.
According to the Legion’s Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario Headquarters, there are nine Legion services listed in Manitoba for 2021 — all of which will have limited or restricted capacity and require full vaccination to attend. See the list below.
One ceremony will be broadcast on YouTube Live from the HMCS Chippawa starting at 10:30 am. You can find it here:
