From sunset until 8 p.m, Montreal’s Samuel de Champlain Bridge will light up in red to honour Remembrance Day.
According to Infrastructure Canada, the bridge will be illuminated in red, reflecting the poppies on the lapels of Canadians across our country as we honour the individuals who served our nation with courage and determination.
The press release goes on to say, “spanning the bridge, itself a symbol of union and strength, this special illumination will glow our gratitude for those who fought for the freedom we enjoy this Remembrance Day and every day.”
After 8 pm, the architectural lighting will return to its blue-green illumination.
