After two years of subdued Remembrance Day ceremonies due to the pandemic, the full parade will return this coming Nov. 11.

Napanee Legion Branch 137 secured approval from council for next month’s parade route, which has been modified to showcase veteran banners that will be hung throughout town.

All parade participants are to gather at the Legion at 10 a.m. on Nov. 11. From there the participants will form up and march to the local cenotaph. The route will see the parade travel east on Mill Street to John Street, north on John Street to Dundas Street, west on Dundas Street to Centre Street, north on Centre Street to Thomas Street and then east to the cenotaph where the parade will be halted for the ceremonies. The return route is east on Thomas Street to Alma Avenue, south on Alma Avenue to Bridge Street, west on Bridge Street to John Street, south on John Street to end at 26 Mill Street at the Legion.

The Lennox and Addington OPP will assist in directing traffic on the day of the ceremony.
