The Regional Municipality of Durham marked Remembrance Day on November 11, 2026, with a statement issued on behalf of Regional Chair and Chief Executive Officer John Henry honouring Veterans and active service members.
The statement describes the poppy as a symbol of remembrance and respect, and recognizes the work of local Royal Canadian Legion branches in supporting Veterans, active-duty members and their families through advocacy and support.
Henry encouraged residents to observe a moment of silence at 11 a.m. in honour of Canada’s Veterans and active service members. Flags at all Regional facilities were lowered to half-mast on November 11 as a sign of respect.
The statement closes by asking residents to join in honouring those who have served and continue to serve, and to remember their sacrifices and contributions.
