Maritimers are set to gather across the region Wednesday for Remembrance Day services. Marches and ceremonies are planned to honour Canadians who served and died defending the country. A gathering will be held at Grand Parade in downtown Halifax, and at legions and cenotaphs across the municipality. CTV Atlantic will livestream the Grand Parade service at 11 a.m. local time. A 21-gun salute will also start at 11 a.m. on Citadel Hill. Remembrance Day events are also scheduled throughout New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, including TD Station in Saint John and the cenotaph in Charlottetown. Services will also be held in dozens of smaller communities across the Maritimes. The Royal Canadian Air Force is expected to conduct several flypasts over commemorations in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Prime Minister Mark Carney, Gov. Gen. Louise Arbour and other dignitaries will lay wreaths at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Live coverage of the national ceremony will be hosted by CTV News’ Chief News Anchor Omar Sachedina beginning at 10 a.m. EST. on CTV News Channel, CTVNews.ca and on Crave.
