While Winnipeggers gather Monday to remember the sacrifices of Canada’s veterans on Remembrance Day, some city services will be closed or reduced in recognition of Nov. 11.
The Royal Canadian Legion, Canada ’s largest veteran support network, has partnered with Amazon this year to sell remembrance poppies online for the first time. The legion says it's helping them reach a wider number of Canadians, and they've already received more than 10,000 orders. Nivrita Ganguly has the details.
All civic offices are closed and there will be no recycling or garbage service Monday. The collection schedule will move ahead by a day for this week only, the city says. Almost all of Winnipeg’s city leisure centres, pools and libraries will be closed, except the following pools, operating on holiday hours:Margaret Grant Pool – open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.Winnipeg Transit will run on a Sunday schedule, and will also offer free bus service to armed forces veterans and current personnel — including cadets and reservists — plus one companion.
Three cemeteries — Brookside, St. Vital, and Transcona — will be open for visitation between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., but the offices will be closed.
