Legion ceremony livestreamed on social media

Due to the global pandemic, Remembrance Day services were held at a small ceremony at the Niagara-on-the-LakeĀ Legion instead of at the clock tower cenotaph this year.

Wednesday'sĀ gathering honoured Canadian soldiers who fought and died for our countryā€™s freedom.Ā 

Lord Mayor Betty Disero spoke during the ceremony, which was livestreamed on the NOTL Legion's Facebook page.

ā€œOn this day, we unite with thousands of people around the country to honour the memory of the brave women and men who sacrificed their lives for our freedom,ā€ she said.

ā€œThis year has been an extraordinary year, as evident in the way we gather today, not all together in person but rather joined hearts from a distance.ā€

ā€œBut while we have been battling an invisible enemy, we must never forget the horrific battles our soldiers fought overseas in order to keep us safe,ā€ Disero said.

ā€œThank you to the families of those who have served and continue to serve Canada today.ā€
