Quotes
Mayor Marianne Meed Ward
“Remembrance Day is a deeply meaningful time for our Burlington community. It’s an opportunity to come together to honour the bravery, sacrifice, and service of Canadian veterans and active military members. We honour and remember those from Burlington who have served, and continue to serve, with courage and dedication in conflicts around the world. I had the honour earlier this year to pay respects to some of our Burlington men who never returned from World War I & II, on a visit to Normand, France and Apeldoorn, Netherlands. I encourage all residents to join us at the Burlington Cenotaph to reflect, remember, and show our gratitude for those who have defended the values and freedoms we hold dear.”
Murray Sutherland, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 60 President
"November 11 is a time for all of us to reflect on the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform both past and present, who served and still serve to defend our values and freedoms. We invite everyone to participate in the service, and remember those men and women who gave, and still give, the freedoms and life we enjoy today."
