The City’s annual Remembrance Event reflects the City’s commitment to fostering active, safe and diverse communities that are inclusive, enhance well-being and honour those who have gone above and beyond. The theme for this year’s event is “Families in Arms” – a more holistic take on the “brother in arms” term traditionally given to soldiers during their service.
