The Town of Whitby is proud to support its two local Legions: Brooklin Legion Branch 152 and Whitby Legion Branch 112. While Remembrance Services will not be open to the public this year due to COVID-19, there are a number of ways you can still pay tribute to our veterans and active service members, by:

Tuning into a virtual ceremony on November 11:

• Watch the National Remembrance Day ceremony on CBC or on the Royal Canadian Legion’s Facebook page.
  • View a livestream of the Canadian Armed Forces Remembrance Day Ceremony at Intrepid Park.

Wearing a poppy or poppy-themed item:

• Purchase a face mask or poppy-themed item from the Royal Canadian Legion’s online store, poppystore.ca - proceeds support the Legion and Canada's Veterans.

Take a moment to learn about a hero:

• When walking through downtown Whitby or Brooklin between now and November 12 be sure to look up. You will find photos and stories of local veterans and active service members displayed on eighty-one lampposts.
• The banners designed by local graphic designer Emma Inkpen were developed through a partnership between the Town of Whitby, Brooklin Legion Branch 152 and Whitby Legion Branch 112.
