Parts of downtown Iqaluit will be closed to traffic Wednesday morning to allow for a Remembrance Day ceremony and march to take place.
The closures will affect parts of Sivumugiaq Street and Mivvik Street starting at 9:30 a.m. until approximately 12 p.m., the City of Iqaluit announced Monday in a public service announcement.
“The closure is necessary to ensure the safety of participants and the public while the march is underway,” said the announcement.
The march, which starts at the RCMP detachment and ends at the cadet hall, is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m.
Remembrance Day ceremonies are also planned in Rankin Inlet at the Singiituq Complex, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and Cambridge Bay’s community hall at 10:30.
Government offices across the territory will also be closed to mark the day.
Remembrance Day is observed every year on Nov. 11 to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty.
