Two public ceremonies mark Remembrance Day in Vancouver on November 11, 2026. Both begin at 10:30 am and are free to attend.

## Victory Square

Victory Square, at Hastings Street and Cambie Street, holds what 604 Now describes as Vancouver's oldest continuing Remembrance Day ceremony. The ceremony runs from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm and includes wreath-laying and a parade of veterans. The Vimy Foundation organizes the event.

Victory Square is accessible by public transit. Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain station on the Expo and Millennium lines is a short walk west along Hastings Street.

## Japanese Canadian War Memorial

The Japanese Canadian War Memorial ceremony at Stanley Park runs from 10:30 am to 11:45 am. Veterans Affairs Canada organizes the event and describes it as a hybrid ceremony with both in-person and virtual attendance.

After the ceremony at the memorial, the program moves to the Stanley Park Pavilion at 610 Pipeline Road for a chamber opera performance by Taka Lee. Light refreshments are provided.

The Stanley Bus Loop gives transit access to Stanley Park. The park entrance is off Georgia Street in downtown Vancouver.

## November 11 is a public holiday

Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday in British Columbia. Many businesses, government offices, and schools are closed. TransLink runs transit on a reduced holiday schedule on November 11; its holiday schedule page at translink.ca has the details for SkyTrain, buses, and the SeaBus before you travel.
