This service will include the laying of wreaths by political leadership and community groups, a full military parade with all EMS services taking part. There is a special seating area for War Veteran and their families. The Cenotaph is located at Trafalgar Road and Sumner Road. Trafalgar Road will be closed for the memorial service.
Memorial Park in the Oak Park community of River Oaks will be having a service with Councillor Jeff Knoll starting at 10:40 AM on November 11. The park is dedicated to service man and women who lost their lives in WWI, WWII, and the Korean War from Trafalgar Township.

If you can not make it to one of the services, a moment of silence at 11:00 AM is a great way to privately honour these valiant fighters.
