On November 10, 2026, the City of Toronto announced plans to host a Remembrance Day ceremony at Old City Hall, dedicated to honoring Canadians who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. The ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, November 11, from 10:45 a.m. to noon, taking place at the Old City Hall Cenotaph located at 60 Queen St. W. Mayor Olivia Chow will deliver remarks during this significant event.
The ceremony will be accessible to a wider audience as it will also be streamed live on the City’s official YouTube channel, commencing at 10:55 a.m. Viewers can tune in via www.youtube.com/user/thecityoftoronto or visit the City’s dedicated Remembrance Day Ceremonies webpage at www.toronto.ca/LestWeForget.
For media representatives, a pool feed will be managed by CP24, and those interested in covering the event are encouraged to reach out to Shirley Fullerton at [email protected] for further details and to join the pool feed. Given the limited space available at the ceremony, all media personnel, including reporters, photographers, and videographers, must RSVP by 6 p.m. to [email protected] to secure access to designated media areas.
Upon successful RSVP, attendees will receive additional information and a site map. It is important to note that media must check in at the registration desk and remain in their assigned areas throughout the ceremony, as entry into the cenotaph vicinity will be restricted out of respect for veterans and those who have sacrificed their lives.
