Kelowna announces Remembrance Day closures and downtown road restrictions

Remembrance Day offers an opportunity to honour the heroes who served our country, remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and reflect on the freedoms we enjoy today.

Kelowna residents heading downtown for Wednesday’s ceremonies should also prepare for road closures and parking restrictions.

Several streets will close beginning at 8 a.m. Nov. 11 to accommodate the pre-ceremony parade, including Bernard Avenue between Water and Abbott streets, Abbott Street between Bernard and Lawrence avenues, and Lawrence Avenue between Abbott and Water streets.

Following the ceremony at the City Park Cenotaph, additional closures will be in effect from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. along Lawrence Avenue between Abbott and Water streets, and Water Street between Lawrence Avenue and the Queensway traffic circle.
