Thousands of Burlington residents lined Brant Street Saturday morning to honour those who fought for their freedom. 

An hour-long ceremony at Veteran Square was preceded by a parade from Baldwin Street to City Hall. The Burlington Teen Tour Band, two armoured personnel carriers, and several branches of service made the one-kilometre trek. 

Members of the military and local dignitaries laid dozens of wreaths at the monument.
