Veterans National Memorial Remembrance Ceremony

Veterans National Memorial Remembrance Ceremony

The Veterans National Memorial Remembrance Ceremony brings together Veterans, serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, motorcycle enthusiasts, and supporters from across the region to remember and honour Canada’s Fallen.

Each year, Veterans and Canadian Armed Forces motorcycle riders arrive at the National Military Cemetery of Canada at Beechwood to participate in a solemn Service of Remembrance and wreath-laying ceremony. This gathering serves as a visible demonstration of respect and gratitude for the men and women who served Canada in times of war, military operations, and peace support missions.

The ceremony provides a unique opportunity for riders and supporters to unite in remembrance, share their pride in Canada’s military heritage, and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.
