The Remembrance Day Service at Belleville’s Cenotaph will go ahead this year, but with a difference.
The service at the cenotaph is set for 11 a.m. on Sunday November 11, but this year there will not be a parade.
Usually veterans and members of other past and current military units parade along Station Street, known as Veterans Way, to the cenotaph for the service.
Parade Marshal Larry Shoebridge tells Quinte News Belleville Veterans Council made the decision to cancel the parade.
Shoebridge says everybody will form up at the cenotaph just like on Vimy Day last spring.
“We don’t have a parade on that day, just assemble at the cenotaph.”
There will be receptions at the Duke of Edinburgh Unit 201 of the Army Navy and Air Force Veterans and at Branch 99 of the Royal Canadian Legion, following the Remembrance Day service on Sunday.
