Remembrance Day 2026 in Langley: every ceremony, time and where to park

There is no single Langley ceremony. There are four, each run by the people who live nearby. Pick the one closest to you and plan to arrive early. Dress warmly, because all four are outdoors.

A note on sources. Where a 2026 time is published, we say so. Where it isn’t, we give last year’s and label it. Please check the organiser before you leave home.

Langley City: Douglas Park Cenotaph

• Where: 20550 Douglas Crescent
• When (2026): 10:50 to 11:50 am, hosted by the City’s recreation and culture team
• Road closures: not yet posted for 2026. In 2025, Douglas Crescent and Park Avenue were closed from 6:30 am to 1 pm
• Parking: not yet posted for 2026. In 2025 the City pointed people to Timms Community Centre, 20399 Douglas Crescent
• Wreaths: applications close November 5 at 4 pm. The City doesn’t supply wreaths. You buy one from a Legion branch or bring your own
• Questions: Langley City Events, 604-514-2902

Aldergrove

• Where: the cenotaph at the Aldergrove Legion, 26607 Fraser Highway
• Organiser: Royal Canadian Legion Branch 265
• 2026 times: not yet posted
• Last year (2025): the parade formed up at 10:30 am at Old Yale Road and 268 Street. It marched along Fraser Highway to the cenotaph, and the service began around 10:50 am. Fraser Highway was closed between 264 and 268 Streets
• Parking and transit: the 2025 coverage doesn’t say. With a road closure and a big crowd, walking or getting a lift is the safer plan
• Updates: the branch’s Facebook page, which the Township pointed to

Fort Langley

• Where: Fort Langley Cenotaph, 9045 Glover Road, in the cemetery
• When (2026): about 10:30 am, according to the 2026 listing with Veterans Affairs Canada
• Organiser: the Fort Langley Remembrance Day Society
• Last year (2025): Glover Road closed at 10 am, and the procession started on the west side of the cemetery. The ceremony was livestreamed
• After the service: in 2025, the public was invited to lay poppies and wreaths at the cenotaph after noon. Refreshments were at the two churches on Glover Road
• Parking: not published by the organisers. Our Fort Langley village guide covers the village

Murrayville

• Where: Murrayville Cenotaph, Murrayville Cemetery, 21405 44 Avenue
• Organiser: the Murrayville Cenotaph Remembrance Day Ceremony Organizing Committee
• When (2026): starts at 10:20 am, according to the organisers’ website
• Last year (2025): the organisers listed the same 10:20 am start and a livestream. Murrayville Community Memorial Hall opened at 10:30 am, showed the livestream indoors and had displays on local veterans
• Parking and closures: not published. Email [email protected]

We didn’t find a Township listing for a public ceremony in Walnut Grove, Brookswood or Willoughby. The Township’s lists name three: Aldergrove, Fort Langley and Murrayville.

The poppy

The Royal Canadian Legion’s National Poppy Campaign runs October 24 to November 11 this year. The Legion says donations support veterans and their families, and money raised locally stays in the community. Veterans Affairs Canada says to wear it on the left lapel, or near your heart if you have no lapel. Many people leave theirs at the base of the cenotaph at the end of the service.

What to do on the day

• Arrive early and stand where the organisers ask.
• Keep phones quiet and children close.
• At 11:00 am, stop and be still for two minutes. At the services we checked in 2025, the Last Post was played and the silence followed.
• Take your lead from the organisers. At Fort Langley in 2025, veterans and anyone with a chair could sit after the Navy Hymn.
• If you can’t attend, watch online. In 2025, Aldergrove, Fort Langley and Murrayville were all livestreamed.

Why the crosses

Fort Langley’s organisers say the cenotaphs at Fort Langley and Murrayville are matching stone Celtic crosses, unveiled in 1920 after returned soldiers led a community fundraiser. Names of the Second World War dead were added later. Murrayville’s draws hundreds of people now. An Aldergrove Star report in May 2026 said Fort Langley’s has a cracked cross and a tilt and is being repaired, so check the organisers’ page for any change.

Langley City once had its own cenotaph on 56 Avenue. The Legion branch that cared for it dismantled it in 2011, and Veterans Affairs Canada lists it as in storage. The Douglas Park ceremony carries on.
