The Remembrance Day parade and ceremony in the City of North Vancouver take place on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the City announced on November 3. The North Shore Veterans' Council Canada organizes them, and the City closes part of Lonsdale Avenue from 9 am to 2 pm.

## The parade and the ceremony

The parade leaves the JP Fell Armoury, at 1513 Forbes Avenue, at 9:15 am, led by the JP Fell Pipe Band. It marches east along W 15th Street, down Lonsdale Avenue, briefly along E 14th Street, and back down Lonsdale Avenue to Victoria Park.

The City asks the public to gather at the Victoria Park Cenotaph by 10 am. The ceremony begins at 10:30 am. Afterward the parade marches north up Lonsdale Avenue and back to the armoury, where it ends at noon. All veterans who wish to march are invited, and the veterans' council streams the ceremony for people who cannot attend.

## Road closures

From 9 am to 2 pm, W 15th Street, E 14th Street and Lonsdale Avenue toward Victoria Park are closed to traffic. The 100 block of E Keith Road is closed from 8 am to 2 pm, and local traffic can only leave the 100 block of W Keith Road. The City asks drivers to plan ahead and expect delays. Its map of the closures is above.

## Free parking

Pay parking is free from 9 am to 2 pm on November 11 in parking zones 70517 and 70518. That area runs from the south side of 17th Street down to Keith Road, and from Chesterfield Avenue east to St Georges Avenue. Parking is also free on the blocks next to Lions Gate Hospital.

## Poppies and banners on Lonsdale

From November 9 to 12, handmade poppies by students from Alcuin College stand in the parklets on Lonsdale Avenue at 14th and 15th Street, on the parade route. The City runs this tribute, Poppies in the Parklet, with Play CNV. Banners honouring local veterans hang on Lonsdale Avenue from 15th Street to Victoria Park all through November, a project of the City and the veterans' council.

At the North Vancouver Cemetery, the City places a cross with a poppy on the graves of registered veterans each year. A family whose veteran did not receive one can contact the cemetery office through the [City's cemetery page](https://www.cnv.org/parks-recreation/cemetery).
