NOVEMBER 7

Alberta Legislature hosts service of remembrance

Nov 6, 2024 | 3:48 PM

A public service of remembrance will take place on Nov. 7 at 11 a.m. at the Alberta Legislature Building rotunda, hosted by the Honourable Nathan Cooper, speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.

“The service of remembrance honours those lost in conflicts, those who returned home and those in active duty. I encourage all Albertans to join me in recognizing the courage of these individuals and the importance of their contributions to our province and country,” said Cooper.

In addition to Cooper’s comments, remarks will be delivered by Justin Wright, MLA for Cypress-Medicine Hat (on behalf of Premier Smith) and Nicole Goehring, MLA for Edmonton-Castle Downs (on behalf of the Opposition).

The ceremony will include a traditional laying of the wreaths and musical performances.

Members of the public, active service members and all veterans, including Edmonton Police Service veterans, are invited to attend. For those unable to attend in person, the service will be live streamed on assembly.ab.ca and on the Legislative Assembly’s social media channels.
