Ottawa Remembrance Day

[George Wallace]

There is also a ceremony in Barhaven, but I don't have any details.

I attended the ceremony at the War Museum (DEUs) with my mom last year.  It was special as my grandfather WW2 Vet had just passed away last October.  Free entrance to the museum on Remembrance Day (not that it matters.)  The ceremony was great and they had a meal after; Friends Of The War Museum provided vouchers for Vets and Serving Members.

Apart from Downtown celebrations, does anybody know of where to take part in this in the Orleans area of Ottawa? I am new in the city and want to try and avoid downtown

If you are planning on attending the Ceremony in Orleans, head to the Legion (Branch 632) on Taylor Creek, just off of trim road.  The ceremony runs from 1030 to 1100 and is well attended by local organizations and a strong contingent from 33 CER as one of our armouries is directly across the road from the legion.  I have attended downtown a couple of times and it is impressive but if you are trying to avoid the crowds this is a nice alternative.
