Poppies were on lapels and veterans were honoured at the Edmonds Community Centre’s Remembrance Day service on Nov. 9.

The New Westminster pipe band opened the service, and Royal Canadian Air Cadets No. 637 were in attendance. Burnaby MP Peter Julian spoke at the event, and Burnaby-Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan laid down a wreath.

The ceremony was well attended and also included a choir service and a few musical acts by locals. Remembrance Day services continued on Nov. 11 with two parades in both North and South Burnaby and observances at the cenotaphs.
