Windsor to Honor Veterans with Moving Remembrance Day 2025 Ceremony
Every year, Canadians come together on November 11 to pause, reflect, and pay tribute to the men and women who served and sacrificed for their country. And in Windsor, the Remembrance Day 2025 program is set to be a heartfelt and memorable one, bringing together the community in a spirit of gratitude and remembrance.
This year’s ceremony will take place in downtown Windsor, continuing the long-standing tradition of gathering at the city’s cenotaph to honor veterans, fallen soldiers, and all who have served in Canada’s armed forces. Local officials, veterans’ groups, and community members are expected to attend the solemn event, which will include the laying of wreaths, the playing of “The Last Post,” and a moment of silence observed at exactly 11 a.m.—the symbolic hour marking the end of World War I in 1918.
The service will be led by representatives from local branches of the Royal Canadian Legion, with participation from military personnel, first responders, and youth organizations such as Scouts and Cadets. Windsor residents are encouraged to attend in person, with city officials emphasizing the importance of community presence and unity during the ceremony. Those unable to be there physically can take part by pausing wherever they are at 11 a.m. to observe two minutes of silence in remembrance.

Remembrance Day, also known as Armistice Day, is observed across Canada to recognize the bravery and sacrifice of those who served in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping missions. Poppies—symbolizing both loss and hope—will once again be worn proudly by residents, as the city comes together to ensure that the memories and stories of Canada’s veterans continue to live on.
In addition to the main downtown ceremony, several schools, community halls, and veterans’ associations across Windsor and Essex County will be holding smaller commemorative events throughout the week leading up to November 11. These programs will include readings, musical tributes, and educational sessions for students, helping younger generations understand the significance of the day and the price paid for the freedoms they enjoy today.
As the city prepares to mark Remembrance Day 2025, organizers are reminding everyone that it’s not only about looking back—it’s also about ensuring that the spirit of service, resilience, and gratitude remains alive in the present. The wreaths, the silence, and the sea of red poppies all serve as powerful reminders that the courage of those who came before us continues to shape the Canada we live in today.
In Windsor, as across the nation, the message remains the same: We remember them.
