Thousands attended the Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ladner on November 11, 2026. Ladner Rotary members and Rotary-sponsored Delta Secondary School Interact club members marched in the parade and attended the cermony. When Ladner Rotarian Rev. Simbarashe Basvi gave the benediction the clouds in the sky literally opened and the sun shone on the Cenotaph – amazing and very moving. Ladner Rotarians participating were Co-presidents Lynn Cameron and Richard Shantz, Walter Neumann, Mike Storey, Carol LeVasseur, David Rushton, Minnie Zhu (Interact) plus those representing other organizations too, such as Delta Councillor Tammy Hansen, Ulf Ottho, John Horton, Simbarashe Basvi.
