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. If you are unable to attend in person see the online ceremony page for another option.

Act of Remembrance
The Act of Remembrance
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
We will remember them.
