Burlington's Annual In Memoriam Day

As a population of almost 200,000 people, Burlington loses over 1200 of our residents each year. Each person plays a valuable part in our city, contributing to families, friendships, businesses and our culture. Every loss is deeply felt by our community.

Burlington's Annual “In Memoriam” Day was created to help recognize members of the community who have passed away in the previous year and provide an opportunity to grieve together and support one another through these losses.

The flags at City Hall will be lowered and the Burlington Pier will be lit white on this day in their honour.

The annual In Memoriam Day will continue to be held on the last Thursday of March each year.
