It's likely to be a wet Remembrance Day in the Tri-Cities, where four services will be held tomorrow, Nov. 11, to honour veterans.

Attendees are advised to bring their umbrellas and to watch for early road closures and detours.

To avoid the traffic tie-ups, walk, cycle or take public transit instead of driving to the cenotaph. As in past years, TransLink will offer free transit rides, including HandDART, to veterans on Remembrance Day.

After the services, the legion branches will serve meals and provide entertainment throughout the day. Check the legion websites (listed below) for details.
