Nova Scotians will pause at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month to pay tribute to our veterans.

There will be several Remembrance Day ceremonies taking place throughout the Halifax-area, and many events leading up to Monday.

If you're planning on heading to one of them, it's a good idea to give yourself plenty of time to find a parking spot. Drivers should expect more pedestrians than usual out and about as they head to ceremonies.

Halifax Transit will be running on a holiday schedule, and will be free for all veterans and military personnel, along with their accompanying family members can ride for free as long as they are in uniform or display their military identification upon boarding.

Halifax Regional Municipality says there will be a number of rolling street closures and traffic delays as Remembrance Day processions make their way to local ceremonies honouring veterans and those still serving with the Canadian Armed Forces.

Parades will be marching to the following locations on Monday morning:

Cenotaph at Royal Artillery Park off Queen Street, Halifax, parade starts at the Armouries on North Park Street at 10:15 a.m.

Province House on Hollis Street, Halifax, parade starts at Maritime Museum of the Atlantic on Lower Water Street at 10:10 a.m.

Cenotaph at Grand Parade, Halifax, parade starts two blocks south of Grand Parade on Barrington Street at 10:30 a.m.

Cenotaph at Sullivan’s Pond, Dartmouth, parade starts at Royal Canadian Legion, Somme Branch #31 on King Street at 10:30 a.m.

There may also be processions not included here for events being held in other areas of the municipality. Some of those other ceremonies include:

Halifax Citadel National Historic Site will host commemorations that will include a 21-gun salute by the 1st Field Artillery Regiment. The Halifax Citadel and Army Museum will be open to visitors free of charge from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Korean War Veterans Memorial Garden on Stratford Way, near Lacewood Dr. in Clayton Park, followed by a reception at the JA Snow Funeral Home at 339 Lacewood Dr.

There will be a ceremony at the cenotaph next to the Beaver Bank Kinsac Community Centre.

Hammonds Plains – Lucasville Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Cenotaph in Uplands Park, 2 Crestfield Drive in Hammonds Plains.

Once ceremonies conclude, groups will be marching back, so traffic delays could be a factor as last as 1:30 p.m. in some areas.
