This will just be a short and simple post to remind you that Wednesday is Remembrance Day.
I’ll be one of the few, the proud, the working like it’s a regular day.
It’s not just a day to sleep in anymore. Pay your respects to Canada’s war and peacekeeping dead all over the place:
- The Butterdome usually has the largest of all Edmonton ceremonies. It begins at 10:30am, but you’ll want to get there before that.
- City Hall has a ceremony at 10am.
- The Alberta Aviation Museum on Kingsway has a parade beginning at 10am.
- There’s an event at Shaw Conference Centre Cenotaph, 99th Street and Jasper Avenue, 11 a.m.
- The Beverly Cenotaph is usually a good spot too, 118 Avenue and 40 Street, just before 11am.
- Norwood Legion, 11150 82 Street, 11 a.m.
- Jasper Place Legion is doing their ceremony inside West Edmonton Mall at the Ice Palace, 10 a.m.
- Kingsway Legion, 10425 Kingsway, 10:15 a.m.
- Calder Seniors Centre, 12963 120 Street, 11 a.m.
- And the Edmonton International Airport is going to have a temporary cenotaph in Central Hall of the departures level, 11 a.m.
I have a sneaking suspicion there was something I forgot to do today…
