The Remembrance Day ceremonies began with a march from the Delta Armouries hotel on Dundas Street to the Cenotaph on Dufferin Street. Opening remarks started at 10:45 a.m., followed by O Canada, then the last post.

Despite the large crowds, one could hear a pin drop during the two minutes of silence.
Shawn Irvine from CTV News was the Master of Ceremony and Col. Right Reverend Nigel Shaw was the Parade Chaplain.
The Salvation Army Jubilee Brass conducted by bandmaster David Rosell and the Catholic Central Chamber Choir conducted by Shannon Swain provided the music for the ceremony.
The event finished with Mayor Josh Morgan, Police Chief Thai Truong and several other politicians and officials laying wreaths.
The parade, including motorists, cadets, veterans and RCMP officers marched back down Dufferin Street with bagpipes playing in the background.
Those who attended the ceremony took photos with the wreaths in front of the Cenotaph after the ceremony.
