Provincial and municipal dignitaries are set to join veterans and their families today at Remembrance Day ceremonies in Toronto.

The ceremony held at Queen's Park in front of the Ontario Veterans' Memorial typically includes a gun salute followed by a moment of silence.

The City of Toronto will mark the solemn occasion at the Old City Hall Cenotaph, where hundreds of people gather every year to pay their respects.

Both ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 10:45 a.m., and road closures will be in effect in the surrounding areas.

Other Remembrance Day ceremonies will also be held in the city, including at the Fort York National Historic Site and the Toronto Zoo.

They are among many events taking place across the country to honour the sacrifices of Canada's veterans.
