Everyday at 11:00 a.m. a member of the House of Commons Security Services conducts the Turning of the Page ceremony. Since 1942, a page has been turned daily in the Books of Remembrance, which contain the names of Canada's war dead. The order of pages turned is based on a perpetual calendar system that ensures each name appears at least once yearly. With the date for each page set, family members can be present for the ceremony when the name of a relative is shown. Since the Chamber can only accommodate up to five people to view the ceremony, reservations will be approved on a first-come first-served basis. Arrangements can be made by contacting the office of the Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms.

We invite you to view the video (Opens new window). It will allow those unable to attend the Ceremony, and those who wish to re-live the experience, to appreciate this simple gesture honouring Canada's war dead.
