In Kitchener-Waterloo, Veterans Week ceremonies aim to honour loved ones who have passed away.
Sunday's Remembrance ceremony at the Memory Garden in Breslau was the show of respect.
It's a sombre day of commemoration for the Sikh community.
Rupinder Kaaur, a member of the Sikh Remembrance Day organising committee, described the ceremony as “It’s a very heart-filled ceremony where we recognise a fallen Sikh soldier.”
The 15th annual Sikh Remembrance Day event was held at Mount Hope Cemetery in Kitchener to honour Private Buckam Singh, who was buried there.
He was a military hero for Canada and one of nine Sikh troops who were permitted to fight for Canada in the First World War.
