Hundreds of people, young and old, braved the cold Saturday morning at Fort York for an annual Remembrance Day service held to honour those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for this country. The crowd gathered at the Strachan Avenue Military burial ground at Fort York for the 65th anniversary of the service. People in period costumes lead the procession to a Remembrance Day ceremony organized by the Fort York National Historic Site and the Toronto Municipal Chapter IODE (Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire). Smeaton said he’s worried that the general public seems to be becoming less concerned about recognizing Remembrance Day as time passes. Smeaton said he wanted his son to attend the ceremony because he has been learning about Remembrance Day at school, and wanted to add to Henry’s knowledge of the occasion.
