Saskatchewan Encourages Residents to Honour Remembrance Day

CANADA, November 11 - Released on November 11, 2026

The Government of Saskatchewan encourages residents to take time on November 11 to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served, remember those who gave their lives, and recognize members of the Canadian Armed Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police who continue to serve Canada today.

Remembrance Day ceremonies will be held in communities across Saskatchewan. The National Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa will also be televised for those unable to attend a local observance.

"Remembrance Day calls on each of us to honour those who served, to remember those who gave their lives in service to Canada and to express our gratitude to those who continue to serve today," Premier Scott Moe said. "I encourage Saskatchewan residents to wear a poppy, attend a ceremony in their community and pause to reflect on the service and sacrifice that have shaped our country."

Flags on all Government of Saskatchewan buildings throughout the province will be flown at half-mast from sunrise to sunset on November 11 in memory of those who gave their lives in service to Canada.

The Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command, and local Legion branches organize Remembrance Day ceremonies and commemorative activities in communities across the province.

The Saskatchewan Virtual War Memorial at svwm.ca shares the names and stories of more than 11,000 individuals with connections to Saskatchewan who died in military service. The online memorial helps preserve the stories of Saskatchewan's war dead for future generations. Managed by the Saskatchewan War Memorial Committee, it complements the Saskatchewan War Memorial on Memorial Way in Regina's Wascana Park.
