The public can once again attend Remembrance Day ceremonies this year.<\/p>\n
The events were limited to invited guests in 2020 due to restrictions around the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
Chairman of the poppy fund for Royal Canadian Legion Branch 38 Louis Landry says ceremonies will go ahead this year but all events must take place outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Liverpool ceremony was always held within the theatre with a wreath-laying session out at the actual cenotaph after the ceremony,\u2019 said Landry. \u201cBecause of COVID[-19] this year, we\u2019ve decided not to have it indoors, we\u2019ll have everything outdoors as we did last year.\u201d<\/p>\n
COVID-19 protocols have been relaxed but Landry says anyone attending one of the nine services being held across Queens County will need to wear a mask and follow the six-foot social distancing rules.<\/p>\n
Landry says the legion banquet that would traditionally follow the ceremony has also been canceled.<\/p>\n
Instead, people are invited to stop by the legion following the ceremony to speak veterans and members.<\/p>\n
Anyone wishing to enter the Legion will need to show proof of vaccination before entering.<\/p>\n
A complete list of Remembrance Day ceremonies and locations is available on the Legion Branch 38 Facebook page.<\/a><\/p>\n
