Cool temperatures are expected this week as Sarnia's traditional Remembrance Day services will be held.
Environment Canada is calling for daytime highs of around 16 C on Tuesday and 12 C on Wednesday, with lows of around 3 C.
A candlelight vigil will be held on Tuesday, November 10.
Participants are asked to meet at Sarnia City Hall at 6:15 p.m.
Sarnia Legion Branch 62 Poppy Chair and Remembrance Day Parade Commander Mark Colbran said with a donation, residents can purchase a candle. The march to the Legion's cenotaph will begin at 6:50 p.m., where a ceremony will follow.
Members of the local Cadet Corps will stand vigil throughout the night.
"The cadets will be sleeping at the Legion and rotating shifts on guard at the cenotaph," Colbran said.
The Sarnia Remembrance Day Parade will take place the following morning, on Wednesday, November 11.
"The parade will step off from the Legion at 10:35 a.m. We'll be at the cenotaph at approximately 10:50 a.m., and the service will start from there," he said.
Colbran said the parade route will go down Front Street, to George Street, to Christina Street, and to Wellington Street, arriving at the Sarnia Cenotaph at Veterans Park.
The City of Sarnia said to facilitate the Remembrance Day ceremonies, Front Street will be closed from George Street to Derby Lane on November 10 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Roads involved in the parade route will also be closed to traffic on November 11 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The city said it's possible nearby side streets will be closed as well.
Parade participants will include: veterans and Legion Members, the local Silver Cross Mother, cadets, members of the Legion pipe band, the Colour Party, Canadian Armed Forces, Sarnia Fire Rescue, Sarnia Police Service, Lambton EMS, Canadian Coast Guard, and Canada Border Services Agency, politicians and other wreath bearers, and organizations.
As always, Colbran said participants are welcome back to the Legion for refreshments afterward.
Colbran said recent issues surrounding certain members of the Legion's executive team have not impacted Remembrance Day Services or the number of volunteers expected to help during those two days.
