Remembrance Day has a nighttime tribute at Toronto’s Mount Pleasant Cemetery. With John Wright, discover a different way to honour veterans and an idea other communities can take up, starting with what happens when the sun goes down.

Four hundred gravestones, small Canadian flags and solar lights make up the installation. John was there for a test run. What does a familiar cemetery become when those individual points of light begin appearing in the dark?

You can also take part closer to home. Setting up chairs, attending a ceremony or thanking a veteran can each be a beginning. Hear how a gathering that started with a handful of people became something its community made its own.

Topics: Remembrance Day, veterans, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, RCAF Foundation, community participation
