The City of Woodstock is grateful for the efforts of those who have assisted in organizing the Remembrance Day ceremony, including the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #55, The Oxford County Naval Veterans Association, City of Woodstock staff, local MP, MPP, emergency services and local school boards.

Canadian Harvard Aircraft Fly-over

The City of Woodstock extends gratitude to the Canadian Harvard Association and the Miller Family for including our community in their efforts. The Miller Family has generously sponsored the flyover for many years in memory of their Father, Jim Miller.


Remembrance Day Banners

The City of Woodstock is honouring more than 60 local veterans with a series of commemorative banners. The banners, which have been installed on light poles throughout downtown, feature men and women from Woodstock who served in war and have now passed.

Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion Br. #55 and the Woodstock Navy club for assisting with gathering submissions from the community. If you would like to be notified of any future opportunities to honour a local veteran, please email events@cityofwoodstock.ca
