Scugog Remembrance Day arrangements will include ceremonies in Port Perry and Blackstock, temporary downtown street closures and a one-day pause at municipal facilities on Wednesday, November 11.
The township’s November 9 notice confirms the current-year schedule. It gives residents an official reference for service times and access changes.
Port Perry service and parade
A short service at Scugog Library is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Attendees will then parade to the municipal office along Water, Queen and Perry streets.
The Scugog Cenotaph service at the municipal office is expected to begin at approximately 10:45 a.m., according to the township.
Road closures are expected from 9:30 a.m. The listed sections are Water Street between North and Queen; Queen Street between Water and Perry; Perry Street between Queen and North; and North Street between Perry and Water.
Roads will reopen on a rolling basis after the parade. North and Perry streets will remain closed during the cenotaph service.
Blackstock and municipal facilities
The Blackstock Cenotaph service is scheduled for approximately 10:30 a.m. A light lunch and refreshments will follow at the Blackstock Recreation Complex. The township says everyone is welcome at the services.
The municipal office, Fire Administration Office and arena will be closed November 11 and reopen November 12 for standard hours. These are township arrangements; they should not be confused with separate Durham Region service notices.
Residents planning to attend Scugog Remembrance Day events can use the township notice and its closure map to plan their route.
