Hosted by: Langley City Recreation, Culture & Community Services
Every year on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, at the eleventh hour, Canadians gather to stand in honour of all who have fallen.
Together, we observe a moment of silence to mark the sacrifice of the many who have fallen in the service of their country, and to acknowledge the courage of those who still serve.
Langley City invites our community to gather together at the Douglas Park Cenotaph to remember all who served and sacrificed for our country.

Oh God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy past And our eternal home! Beneath the shadow of the throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone’ And our defense is sure. A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone, short, as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun O God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come; Be thou our guard while
As year follows year, we assemble here to honour those heroic men and women who made the supreme sacrifice to ensure that we , who survive, and generations to come, might live in peace and be free to pursue, within the bounds of decency and law and order, a way of life each one of us may choose. Many other comrades have died since their active day of service in wartime. Today we remember them too, especially those lost during the past year.
How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now I’m found Was blind, but now I see ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed Through many dangers toils and snares I have already come ‘Twas grace has brought Us safe thus far And grace will lead us home When we’ve been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun We’ve have no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we first begun
