On Wednesday, November 11, Lethbridge will pause to remember the Canadians who served, and those who never came home. Here’s where to go, when to get there, and how to be ready for whatever the weather brings.
Ceremonies in Lethbridge
- Lethbridge Cenotaph (outdoors), 4 Avenue South (renamed Veterans Avenue for the week). Arrive by 10:45 a.m. for the 11 a.m. vigil. There’s no seating, so plan to stand.
- Lethbridge Trade & Convention Centre (indoors), 101 Exhibition Way South. Doors open at 10:30 a.m., and the 11 a.m. Cenotaph ceremony is livestreamed inside. Arrive by 11:45 a.m. for the 12 p.m. vigil.
4 Avenue South is closed between 9 Street and 11 Street through the morning of November 11, so allow extra time to park and walk.
Dress for standing outside
Standing still outdoors for the better part of an hour in November feels a lot colder than walking around. If you’re heading to the Cenotaph:
- Check the wind as well as the temperature. A breeze makes a cool morning bite. Our What should I wear? page uses live readings to help you dress right.
- Layer up, with a warm hat, gloves and warm, dry footwear. Your feet get cold first when you stand on concrete.
- Bring the kids prepared too, and have a plan if little ones get cold. The indoor ceremony at the Trade & Convention Centre is a warm alternative.
- Check the forecast that morning, and watch for any weather warnings before you head out.
If you can’t be there
Wherever you are at 11 a.m., you can still take part. Stop for two minutes of silence at home, at work or wherever you happen to be.
Ceremony details are from the City of Lethbridge’s notice of November 3, 2026. Times and arrangements can change, so check the City of Lethbridge news page before you go.
Lest we forget.
