Remembrance Day 2020 looked different than in past years. The Royal Canadian Legion office asked spectators to watch online ceremonies and to remember in place (from home).
Maple Ridge Legion Branch #88 developed an online, livestream presentation in place of our in-person parade and gathering in Memorial Peace Park. The broadcasted commemoration from Maple Ridge was much smaller, with
invited guests only. This helped to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and align with the Provincial Health Authority’s guidelines at the time to limit large public gatherings. Let us honour our veterans through a virtual celebration.
Changes to 2020's commemoration included:
- No public event or veteran's parade - please do not gather at Memorial Peace Park
- Spectators were asked to “Remember in Place” by staying home and watching the livestream
- Maple Ridge Legion Branch #88's livestreamed the ceremony starting at 10:45 AM
- Residents helped show their support to veterans by posting a poppy in your front window of their residence or posted a photo to their social media channels using #RememberInPlace and/or #PoppyInTheWindow
