Update on Remembrance Day commemorations

November 2, 2020

The County is encouraging residents to make plans for observing Remembrance Day on November 11.

The longstanding public ceremonies in Picton, Wellington, and Consecon will not take place this year due to COVID-19 gathering restrictions.

“It is important that we keep the sacrifices of Canadian veterans in our thoughts on November 11, even though we cannot gather for services at our local cenotaphs,” Mayor Steve Ferguson says. “Please buy a poppy and consider visiting a cenotaph with your household throughout the day or attending a virtual ceremony to pay your respects and honour the brave men and women.”

Wreaths will be placed in advance at the cenotaphs in Picton, Wellington and Consecon.  While public ceremonies will not occur this year, the public can visit a cenotaph to pay their respects leading up to Remembrance Day. If you do choose to visit, please be mindful of the number of people gathered and be sure to stay 2 metres (6 feet) away from people outside your household.

Poppy boxes will be placed at local businesses in the County from October 30 to November 11. Poppies will also be available at both Shire Hall (280 Picton Main Street) and the Edward Building (332 Picton Main Street).

The Royal Canadian Legion will offer a Facebook Live presentation of the National Remembrance Day ceremony. Several national television and radio broadcasters will also provide live coverage of the ceremonies. Please check your local listings.
