Remembrance Day Ceremonies
The Battle of Crysler's Farm was fought on a cold and windy November 11th in 1813. Exactly 105 years later, in 1918, the Armistice ending World War I was signed. That these two historic events occurred on the same day is a mere coincidence, but not one that is disregarded.
The Friends of Crysler's Farm Battlefield host an annual Remembrance Day Ceremony to commemorate the anniversary of the battle and to pay their respects to those who died in the line of duty, both at Crysler's Farm and elsewhere. The ceremony is held at the monument, located immediately west of Upper Canada Village in Morrisburg, Ontario. There is a gathering at the bottom of the mound at 8:30 a.m., with the ceremony beginning at 9:00 a.m.

Robin Morris Memorial Fundraising Dinners
The Friends of Crysler's Farm Battlefield hosts an annual fundraising dinner, named in honour of the late Robin Morris, a long-time member of the FCFB and a re-enactor. The proceeds from these dinners go toward maintaining the organization and supporting events, including the battle re-enactments and Remembrance Day ceremonies.
