VICTORIA — Rain and gusty winds are in the forecast for today’s Remembrance Day ceremonies in southwest British Columbia, which has received a soaking from a series of storms since last week.

Victory Square in downtown Vancouver will be among locations hosting services to honour current and past members of the Armed Forces, with the ceremonies falling silent at 11 a.m.

The Vancouver ceremony will include a parade, a 21-gun salute and a flypast, weather permitting.

Flypasts by Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft are also planned for Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Qualicum Beach, Lantzville and Sidney, all on Vancouver Island.

The cenotaph outside the provincial legislature in downtown Victoria is expected to draw the largest Remembrance Day crowd on Vancouver Island.

Dozens of other ceremonies are taking place across the province, from Dawson Creek to Fernie and Haida Gwaii.
