Before the holiday season gets underway, Durham Tourism would like to take the time to honour our heroes in the Canadian Armed Forces. Remembrance Day is a time to reflect and give thanks to those who have dedicated their lives to our great nation. On Nov. 11, ceremonies will be held across Durham Region to honour Canada's Veterans, and remember their courage, service and sacrifice. For a complete list of other events taking place in Durham Region during the month of November, be sure to check out the Durham Tourism events calendar.
