Midland lowers flag for Veterans’ Week & Remembrance Day

The flags at the Midland Municipal Office are lowered in observance of National Veterans’ Week and Remembrance Day 2025. Mayor Bill Gordon has proclaimed November 5 to 11, 2025, as “Veterans’ Week” in the Town of Midland: 

Whereas, Veterans’ Week is a time to honour Canadian veterans and soldiers made up of the young and old who share a common goal of keeping our country strong, proud and free; and

Whereas, Canada has a long history of providing military assistance in order to secure peace around the world; and

Whereas, Peace and Freedom are not just words, they are values and beliefs worthy of sacrifice yesterday, today and tomorrow; and

Whereas, Canadian sacrifice and valour will be remembered forever as a rich legacy of peace, freedom and identity.

Therefore, to show support for our veterans and their families, I, Mayor Bill Gordon, do hereby proclaim November 5 to 11, 2025 as “Veterans’ Week” in the Town of Midland and encourage residents to pause on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, to remember those who paid the ultimate price to protect our freedoms and to support the Royal Canadian Legion and its programs by purchasing and wearing a poppy as a symbol of remembrance.
