Royal Canadian Legion branches will also hold ceremonies in Toronto and across Canada as the organization marks its 100th anniversary.

At 11 a.m., Canadians will observe two minutes of silence to honour those who died in service, veterans and those still serving. TTC vehicles will stop for two minutes as a tribute.

### Transit and zoo admission

The TTC says current Canadian military members can travel free on Remembrance Day with one companion. Military members and veterans can show military identification, service medals or ribbons for free access.

Metrolinx says veterans and Canadian Armed Forces members, along with one companion, can ride GO Transit and UP Express free that day. Family members of deceased veterans are also eligible and are asked to carry something identifying their relationship, such as service papers or an identification card.

The Toronto Zoo says veterans in uniform or displaying medals, crests or other military-affiliation insignia will receive complimentary admission and parking. The same offer applies to serving Armed Forces members and members of police, fire and paramedic services in uniform. Members of the public attending the ceremony can receive 50 per cent off admission.
