The town's 55+ Recreation Services will host a Remembering Veterans Gathering at the Brooklin Community Centre and Library at 12 p.m., following the community ceremony at the Brooklin Cenotaph, inviting 55+ members to pause, reflect and honour the women and men who have served and sacrificed for Canada.
Photos and stories of local veterans and active service members are displayed on lampposts in downtown Whitby, downtown Brooklin and outside Town Hall.
