It is Remembrance Day today which is observed on the 11th day of November to mark the formal end of hostilities during World War I "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918. Hours before then, an armistice was signed between Germany and the Entente Powers. The war itself would officially come to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28th of 1919.
There are ceremonies for Remembrance Day taking place around the Parkland. In Dauphin, a commemoration service will get underway at Credit Union Place at 10:45 this morning followed by the Remembrance Day Cenotaph Service at Memorial Boulevard at noon.
Services are also scheduled in places like McCreary, Roblin, Winnipegosis, Kinisota, and Gilbert Plains. See our community calendar for information for each of them.
