The ceremony will take place on Remembrance Day (Nov. 11) at 10:40 a.m. at the Warsaw Cenotaph (895 Water St., Warsaw). The event will take place rain or shine and will also be posted on the Township’s YouTube channel.

Organizers are inviting community members, including local schools and traditional wreath carriers, to join the Remembrance Day Ceremony. Organizers ask that while at the Cenotaph attendees maintain physical distancing and wear a mask if applicable to help slow the spread of contagious illnesses.

Anyone is welcome to place a wreath at the Cenotaph before or after the official ceremony. The single wreath is meant to symbolize the respect and honour traditionally demonstrated by the placement of many wreaths during the ceremony.

The parade and post-ceremony luncheon remains postponed.
