If you're planning to attend the Rememberance Day services in Cloverdale on November 11, it starts at 10:15am in the cenotaph next to the museum, near the corner of 176A Street and Highway 10. Arrive early to find a parking spot. 56A Avenue is usually closed off, but parking can be found on the nearby streets, 176A, 177B, etc. Some people park in the lot at the back of the Clova Inn (176A and 57 Avenue) and walk over. You want to play on arriving 20 to 30 minutes early to find a parking spot and walk over to the museum. The wreath laying starts around 11am. There are usually several airplane flypasts during the service as they make the rounds at various cenotaphs across the Lower Mainland holding services. It always rains on Remembrance Day and there is an 80% chance of showers tomorrow.
If you're closer to White Rock, the Remembrance Day Service is held in the United Church at 10am. Its on Centre Street, on the corner of Buena Vista. If you know where the City Hall and Library is, its about half a block away. Wreath laying ceremonies at 11am. Its behind City Hall, kind of off Pacific Avenue and inbetween Buena Vista. Just follow the crowd from the service.
I was going to mention Port Kells because they usually have a Remembrance Day Service too for anyone closer to that area, but I can't find any mention of it this year. In the past its been held at the Port Kells Elementary School on 88th Avenue and about 190th Street. But I just don't know this year. My sources have let me down!
