Today we will remember.

Today is when all Canadians across the country will pay their respects to those who served, fought and died in service of Canada.

And it will be a bit more normal as last year, the Royal Canadian Legion was telling people to stay home in at the height of COVID-19, now they are welcoming back in person ceremonies although still with COVID restrictions.

The Legion says there will be lots of people at the National War Memorial in the nations capital but the Legion has cancelled the traditional Veterans Day parade in Ottawa.

Here in Sudbury there are a number of local branches holding celebrations:

10:15 a.m. – Lockerby RCL 564 – 2200 Long Lake Road, Sudbury

10:30 a.m.                    Capreol RCL 179, Cenotaph, Capreol

10:45 a.m. – Chelmsford RCL Branch 553 – Cenotaph, Chelmsford
