Statement from Windsor Veterans Memorial Services Committee

On November 11, as we should every day, we remember those who volunteered, sacrificed, served, fought and died for our freedom. We will never forget them. Once more this year, we welcome everyone to gather to remember. Join us in person or watch the television and online broadcasts. If you are unable to do either, then take a moment of silence at 11 a.m. or visit one of our many city monuments or Veterans sections of your local cemetery. There are many ways to join as a community to honour our heroes. We will remember. We will never forget.

— Paul Lauson, President of Windsor Veterans Memorial Services Committee
