Peace Poppy Ceremony 2022

Fri, Nov 11, 2022 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm


Join in a ceremony of remembrance for all the victims of war:

On November 11 at 2pm we will host the 7th annual “Let Peace Be Their Memorial” wreath-laying ceremony at the Sanctuary (949 W. 49th Ave.) 

The event will also be livestreamed here. Please click on the video below after 1:45pm to watch the ceremony

Through an annual wreath ceremony and white lapel poppy campaign, Vancouver Peace Poppies hopes to encourage Canadians to broaden their Remembrance Day focus:

  • to include the civilians who now make up 90% of conflict victims
  • to challenge the beliefs, values and institutions that make war seem inevitable
  • to urge our government to promote and fund effective non-military means of dispute
    resolution

Masks are required in the Sanctuary for this event, and will be available for free for those who need them.
