Remembrance Day 2026

Join communities across the Township of Springwater and the surrounding area on Remembrance Day as we honour the courage, service, and sacrifice of those who have served and continue to serve our country.

Each year on November 11, Canadians come together to remember the brave men and women who have served our country during times of war, conflict and peace.

Residents are encouraged to attend a local Remembrance Day ceremony to pay tribute to our veterans, honour those who made the utlimate sacrifice and reflect on the freedoms we enjoy today.
