Residents headed to the National Military Cemetery and the Canadian War Memorial to take part in ceremonies commemorating Remembrance Day.

—@WheresWaldmeierThe Memorial Chamber inside the Peace Tower in Ottawa is where you'll find the Books of Remembrance, tomes that hold the names of every 🇨🇦 soldier who died serving their country. May we honour them, their sacrifices, and live in peace always. 🙏 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CanadaRemembers?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CanadaRemembers</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LestWeForget?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LestWeForget</a> <a href="https://t.co/Ok0BWwmFFV">pic.twitter.com/Ok0BWwmFFV</a>

Beautiful but chilly day at Beechwood National Cemetary.
