Remembrance Day Flags
The City honours, remembers and commemorates Barrie’s fallen soldiers by featuring pictures of local veterans on flags each year. The flags are displayed in the fall throughout Meridian Place, at City Hall, on Lakeshore Drive, and around the entire waterfront to Tiffin Street. In 2024, 16 new flags were added to the series.
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.
Every year, Barrie's Royal Canadian Legion Branch and the City of Barrie join communities across Canada in commemorating Remembrance Day.
At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we observe a moment of silence to honour all who have fallen and acknowledge the courage of those who have served for our freedom. This year marks the 107th anniversary of the end of the First World War and the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
Please check back for event details closer to the date. As vigil and parade details are confirmed, they will be added to this webpage.
