Remembrance Day Road Closure in Coldstream
Coldstream and Lavington mark Remembrance Day with dual ceremonies; Kalamalka Road closes for the Coldstream event
November 4 2026 - Residents and visitors are invited to honour those who served on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with ceremonies in both Coldstream and Lavington. The District of Coldstream and the Lavington Community Association are organizing the events to remember the sacrifices of military members past and present, along with Canadian contributions during war, conflict, and peace.
Lavington
A pancake breakfast runs from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. at the Lavington Fire Hall (9739 School Road), served by local firefighters. The ceremony follows at 10:45 a.m. at the Lavington Cenotaph in Lavington Park (6408 Lavington Way). Coffee will be available afterward at the fire hall.
Coldstream
The ceremony begins at 10:45 a.m. at Cenotaph Park, next to Coldstream Community Hall (9909 Kalamalka Road). The Coldstream Fire Hall and its members will serve refreshments afterward at 8008 Aberdeen Road.
Road closure (new this year)
Unlike previous years, Kalamalka Road will be closed to vehicle traffic between Aberdeen Road and Coldstream Elementary School starting at 10:45 a.m. The temporary closure, needed to accommodate the Coldstream ceremony and crowd, is expected to last about one hour (estimated 10:45–11:30 a.m.). Motorists should plan ahead, use alternate routes via Highway 6, and allow extra travel time. The District thanks the public for their patience.
