After a two year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Remembrance Day parade was brought back to the City of Peterborough. Beginning at PACE PCVS, they made their way to Confederation Square for a service led by the Legion.

Veterans and their loved ones gathered as the local Montessori school sang songs of remembrance and wreaths were laid, honouring the lives of those who have served and are currently serving in the armed forces.
