The ceremonies at Fort Langley, Aldergrove and Murrayville begin between 10:20 and 10:35 a.m., and two of the three offer livestreams for people who cannot attend in person. This year's Aldergrove ceremony carries added weight after the death of Private Hayden Lykkemark, who grew up in Langley before enlisting in the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. Lykkemark was among four Canadian Forces members killed in a fire at CFB Wainwright. Shaun Francis, an Aldergrove Legion member and one of the ceremony's organizers, trained at the same base and served in the same regiment before an injury ended his military career. "It's heartbreaking," he told the Langley Advance Times on November 10. ## Fort Langley: 10:30 a.m. at the cenotaph on Glover Road The Fort Langley ceremony begins at 10:30 a.m. at the Fort Langley Cenotaph, at the northeast corner of Fort Langley Cemetery at Glover Road and St. Andrews Avenue. The Fort Langley Remembrance Day Committee and Fort Langley Remembrance Day Society organize the event. Glover Road closes at 9:45 a.m. to make room for the ceremony. The procession includes veterans, first responders and elected officials. All are welcome to attend. For those unable to get to Fort Langley, the ceremony will be livestreamed on Facebook. ## Aldergrove: parade from 268 Street at 10:35 a.m. The Aldergrove ceremony centres at the legion hall and cenotaph at 26607 Fraser Highway. The parade forms at 268 Street and Old Yale Road at around 10:35 a.m. and marches west, aiming to reach the cenotaph by 10:55 a.m. Two minutes of silence will be held as close to 11 a.m. as possible, Francis told the Langley Advance Times. The parade will include the RCMP pipe band, a contingent of Canadian Forces members from the nearby Naval Radio Section Aldergrove, local firefighters, Girl Guides and multiple units of air, army and sea cadets. Historic military vehicles from International Movie Services will also be on hand. Two Township Fire Department ladder trucks are expected to form an arch and hang a large flag between them. A cadet from 746 Lightning Hawk Squadron will give a reading. Other cadets are posted around the cenotaph and working behind the scenes. The cenotaph bears 120 names. Francis described those honoured as young people who "left this community and never came back." ## Murrayville: 10:20 a.m. at the cemetery on 44 Avenue The Murrayville ceremony begins at 10:20 a.m. at Murrayville Cemetery on 44 Avenue west of 216 Street. This is the 10th annual ceremony at that site. Rosemary Genberg and Brian Parkinson and one other couple attended the first gathering at the cemetery in 2016, and the event has grown each year since, the Langley Advance Times reported on November 9. The cemetery is home to one of two Langley cenotaphs built after the First World War. The procession is led by piper John McCallum. Retired Canadian Forces Reserves Master Cpl. Gregory Trigg and members of the organizing committee will read poems. Brian Parkinson plays the Last Post, after which two minutes of silence are held. Weather permitting, a flypast from one of the planes at the Canadian Museum of Flight at Langley Regional Airport will follow. The 746 Lightning Hawks Air Cadet Squadron leads the procession and provides an honour guard. Scouts are cleaning veterans' graves. Girl Guides and other youth groups take part. A reception follows at Murrayville Hall on 48 Avenue east of Five Corners. Parking is available at the Langley Golf Centre at 216 Street and 44 Avenue. Parking at the cemetery itself is restricted to veterans and those unable to walk from the golf centre. Traffic control will be on 44 Avenue. For those who cannot attend in person, the ceremony will be livestreamed at MurrayvilleRemembranceDay.ca and on the Murrayville Remembrance Day YouTube channel. The livestream can also be watched at Murrayville Hall. ## What comes next After the ceremonies, the Langley Board of Education and Township Council return to regular meetings the following week. The next Township Council meeting schedule is published at calendar.tol.ca. Residents attending any of the three ceremonies on November 11 should allow extra time for road closures and parking. In Fort Langley, Glover Road closes at 9:45 a.m. In Aldergrove, the parade moves along Fraser Highway from 10:35 a.m. and foot traffic will be on the road. At Murrayville, parking at the cemetery is restricted, and attendees driving to the event should head to the Langley Golf Centre on 216 Street at 44 Avenue and walk from there. ## Both the Fort Langley and Murrayville ceremonies offer a way to watch from home. Fort Langley's ceremony will be on Facebook. Murrayville's will be on MurrayvilleRemembranceDay.ca, on its YouTube channel and on a screen inside Murrayville Hall for those who prefer to gather in a warm place. No livestream has been announced for the Aldergrove ceremony. ## Sitemap See the full [sitemap](/bc/langley-township-2026/sitemap.md) for all pages.
