On Remembrance Day, Toronto’s Old City Hall and Queen’s Park hosted ceremonies to honor the sacrifices of Canada’s veterans and soldiers. John Anderson, a retired Canadian Navy lieutenant, was among those participating in the solemn events. The Cambridge resident, who served more than 40 years in the navy, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to pay tribute to those who served alongside him.
“It honours the people who served to give us what we have today and the current people that are serving,” Anderson remarked. “You bring them together, it’s like one big brotherhood.”
Mayor Olivia Chow also addressed the audience during the event, marking the Legion’s 100th anniversary. She emphasized the importance of the organization, stating, “The Legion shows us the city we can be. A city where no one carries the burden alone. A city where we take care of each other and stand up for each other.” The crowd gathered around the Old City Hall Cenotaph to commemorate these ideals and remember the brave individuals who have served the country.
