Online Remembrance Day Ceremonies

Fort Langley brothers George and James Hadden died within six weeks of each other in Normandy in 1944. Their mother, Kathleen Hadden, was honoured as a Silver Cross mother until she passed in 1997, often laying a wreath at Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Each year at 11:00am on November 11 we pause to think about the brave men and women who gave so much for our country, our freedom, and our way of life. Remembrance Day ceremonies are held throughout the Township each year, but this year they will look quite different due to COVID-19.
In-person attendance at ceremonies is not permitted this year, except for those who are required to conduct the ceremony, but the Township of Langley Council encourages residents to watch the ceremonies live online.
Watch the live ceremonies on Remembrance Day on the following websites beginning at approximately 10:30am.
