Remembrance Day hours of operation at civic properties

Kelowna City Hall will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 11 in observance of the Remembrance Day statutory holiday.

The city is asking residents to honour those who served our country and remember the sacrifices that so many made for our freedom.

This year for health safety reasons due to COVID-19, the Remembrance Day parades held annually in downtown Kelowna and Rutland will not take place. However, those seeking to pay their individual respects can do so by visiting the Field of Crosses from now until November 11. The Field of Crosses includes 240 white crosses leading to the Cenotaph in City Park to commemorate the lives of the local Canadian Armed Forces personnel who lost their lives in the service of their country.

The Glenmore Landfill will be open regular hours from 7:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. The Landfill continues to only accept non-cash payments to help ensure the safety of staff and customers. OgoGrow and GlenGrow are available for pickup at the Glenmore Landfill or the Commonage Road Compost Facility until 4 p.m.

The Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery administration office will be closed on Wednesday, however the Cemetery gates will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
