Attend a Remembrance Day ceremony on Tuesday, November 11 in your local community, honouring those who served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. To mark two significant milestones in 2025: 80 years since the end of the Second World War and the 100th anniversary of the Toronto Cenotaph at Old City Hall, a special commemorative lighting projection is also on display nightly outside Old City Hall from November 5 to 11.
All locations, details and ceremony start times are listed below.
Tune in from anywhere to watch the ceremony at the Old City Hall Cenotaph on the City of Toronto's YouTube channel.
For more information about any of the City’s Remembrance Day ceremonies, including their accessibility, please contact protocol@toronto.ca.
Be moved by special commemorative projections outside Old City Hall nightly, November 5 to 11, from 6 to 11 p.m.
The display repeats every 30 minutes and marks two significant milestones: 80 years since the end of the Second World War and the 100th anniversary of the Toronto Cenotaph at Old City Hall.
To commemorate these anniversaries and the history of the Toronto Cenotaph, the west façade of Old City Hall will be illuminated with a moving visual display, paying tribute to those who served — and to those who never returned home.
The display features images from the City of Toronto Archives and the names of local heroes from Toronto’s Golden Book of Remembrance, honouring service members who gave their lives between 1939 and 1945.
Also featured are images and documents related to the history and construction of the Toronto Cenotaph at Old City Hall.
