Remembrance Day at Dakota Community Centre

Dakota Fieldhouse – Open Wednesday, November 11, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m.

On November 11, we pause.

We remember those who served, those who did not come home, and the families who carried on without them. In Guay Park, at St. Mary’s Road and Guay Avenue, a memorial erected by the citizens of St. Vital in 1955 honours local men and women killed in the two World Wars and Korea. St. Vital is one of the oldest communities in Manitoba, and its losses were deeply felt.

At 11 a.m., the silence will fall once more. Whether you are at a ceremony, at home, or somewhere quiet on your own, we hope you take those two minutes for the ones who gave so much.

Close to Home

Ceremonies are held across the city in the morning. Two you may wish to attend:
