Surrey Honours Veterans with Citywide Remembrance Day Ceremonies
To commemorate Remembrance Day, Surrey will host multiple events on Tuesday, November 11, celebrating the service, bravery, and sacrifice of Canadian veterans.

I encourage everyone to take a moment during Veterans Week and on Remembrance Day to reflect and express appreciation for the commitment and courage of our veterans and service members.”
