Pay your respects to past and current members of the Canadian Armed Forces at a Remembrance Day ceremony in North Burnaby on Friday, Nov. 11.

The morning event gets started at 10:30 a.m. with a procession down Hastings Street. The march includes members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #148, Burnaby RCMP, local cadet groups and veterans of past and current conflicts.

The procession starts in the Safeway parking lot at 4440 Hastings St. and travels down Hastings to the North Burnaby cenotaph in Confederation Park. A ceremony will follow at 11 a.m.

The cenotaph is the oldest in the City of Burnaby and a tribute to those who lost their lives in the First World War, Second World War and Korean War. It was built by stonemasons and First World War veteran Walter Morrice back in 1953.
