Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement marking Remembrance Day:

“On Remembrance Day, we honour the sacrifices made by generations of Canadians who served on the battlefield and the families they left behind. We also recognize those who returned home, forever changed by the horrors of war.

“British Columbians will mark this important day with virtual and in-person ceremonies at the local cenotaph. We stand alongside veterans, armed forces members and merchant marines to honour those who risked their lives to protect ours and build a more peaceful world.

“The best way we can honour their sacrifice is by doing everything we can to keep ourselves and others safe.

“Lest we forget.”
