Remembrance at Milton Public Library
Each year, Canadians come together to remember and honour the individuals who have served and sacrificed in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping missions. Milton Public Library invites the community in observing Remembrance Day and Indigenous Veterans Day through a number of commemorative activities and events.
Moment of Silence
All Milton Public Library branches will observe a Moment of Silence on Wednesday, November 11 at 11:00 a.m. We invite everyone visiting our branches at that time to take a moment to reflect on the service and sacrifices of Canada’s veterans and active members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Community Poppy Wreath Displays
Leading up to Remembrance Day, visitors can view handcrafted knitted or crocheted poppy wreaths displayed at all MPL branches. These beautiful wreaths were created by members of the Library Knitting Circle, and we extend our sincere appreciation for their time, talent, and dedication in helping the Library honour this important occasion.
Legion Poppy Campaign
The Royal Canadian Legion will be selling poppies at the Main Library and Sherwood Branch from October 24 to November 11. Donations support veterans and their families through programs, services, and community initiatives. We encourage residents to wear a poppy as a symbol of remembrance and gratitude.
