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, our local MP, MPP, emergency services and school boards.
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.
Residents, team members and local community members have collaborated to create vibrant poppies, which will be displayed on the front lawn of Park Place Retirement Residence at 126 Graham St. In addition, they will be offering hot chocolate and Timbits to all attendees.

In 2025, the City of Woodstock paid tribute to local veterans with a new commemorative crosswalk at the cenotaph. The crosswalk is located at the corner of Graham Street and Buller Street and features a red and white striped pattern, with the silhouette of a soldier and the phrase “Lest We Forget” at each end.
The City consulted with Royal Canadian Legion Branch #55 to ensure the crosswalk is a functional, respectful and meaningful memorial. The Legion's guidelines for commemorative crosswalks prohibit the use of the poppy symbol, which is a registered trademark of the Legion and may not be used in any situation where it may be trod upon.
In 2023, the City of Woodstock honoured more than 60 local veterans with a series of commemorative banners. The banners, which will be installed yearly in mid-October, are placed on light poles throughout downtown and feature men and women from Woodstock who served in war and have now passed.
If you would like to be notified of any future opportunities to honour a local veteran, please email events@cityofwoodstock.ca.
