Monday is Remembrance Day. In advance of the occasion, Hamiltonians will have several opportunities this weekend to reflect on the horrors of war and the sacrifices of the men and women who have served in Canada's armed forces.
The weekend will also feature more traditionally entertaining events, as well as a conference on women in politics.
Here's a list of things to do in Hamilton this weekend.
