Remembrance Day in Newmarket
Created: Wednesday, October 29, 2025
On November 11, we stand for a moment of silence to show our appreciation and respect for all who have served in the Canadian Armed Forces and given up their lives in the line of duty. Flags will be lowered to half-mast at all Town of Newmarket buildings as well as Central York Fire Services facilities on November 11.
Here are some ways you can remember Canada's veterans for Remembrance Day:
- Wear a Poppy and/or make a donation. Proceeds go towards financial assistance to support Veterans and their families who are in need.
- On October 31 at 1 p.m., the Poppy Flag will be raised at the Town of Newmarket Municipal Offices (395 Mulock Drive).
- On November 9, a Remembrance Parade will be hosted by the Newmarket Legion at 1:30 p.m. starting on Water Street and Eagle Street, followed by a Service at the Cenotaph in Veteran’s Memorial Park located at D’Arcy and Church Street. Learn more by calling the Newmarket Legion at 905-895-5481.
