The Salvation Army brass band just started playing. The procession is just rounding the corner of Dufferin and Waterloo streets, heading to the cenotaph. #RememberanceDay2024 https://t.co/4DeMcjDPaV

Crowds are already gathering at the Victoria Park cenotaph, awaiting the arrival of the ceremonial parade. Veterans from St. Joseph Health Care London are aboard four buses with a clear view of this morning’s ceremony. #RemeanceDay2024 https://t.co/LA6S35qfbe

London Health Sciences Centre has launched an outside review of its operations and governance and is signaling an intent to rebuild its ties with St. Joseph’s Health Care London, a relationship strained by former LHSC leadership. https://t.co/X6ZGy2I2oK

The forecast was calling for a 50% chance of rain today. We’ve avoided it so far, but there is a light mist coming down now. Tons of students keep coming and going from Broughdale Ave. https://t.co/hwGhxyr6F7

Police are writing tickets. But it doesn’t seem to be putting a damper on the party. So far I’ve seen officers from Hamilton, Peterborough and London out on patrol. https://t.co/mC9npDOwOt

Emergency workers have a command centre on Audrey Ave., a Broughdale Ave. side street. They also have these sweet golf-cart/UTV things. The crowds in this student party zone have grown considerably since noon. https://t.co/nenWRYXVxt

Pro tip: Just don’t go near Western’s main gates right now. Traffic is slow, pedestrians are crossing whenever they feel like it. While Broughdale is the biggest crowd, adjacent roads are crowded too. For example, see Huron St. north of Richmond… https://t.co/J944D3L46o

Chris Yates, vice-president of CUPE Local 2361, was among the workers walking the picket line outside of Alumni Stadium. The union, which is also running ads on London FM radio, is trying to amplify its message as Western alumni, students and donors flock to campus. https://t.co/zdYDGHDIy5

CUPE Local 2361, which represents about 360 facilities and trades workers at Western, has a very visible presence outside of Alumni Stadium. Attendees to the sold-out football game can’t help but pass them. The workers are going into their fifth week on strike. https://t.co/4CledSXeYc

And this is the scene at Western and Sarnia Roads, ahead of the 1 p.m. Western Homecoming football game kickoff at Alumni Stadium. Traffic is moving well. Pedestrians and pickets are being courteous. https://t.co/dP3Qh2Ilzm

It’s almost Homecoming game time. CUPE pickets are outside Elborn College on Western Road. Vehicle traffic on the east-west artery is moving quite well, even with the extra HOCO volume and job action. https://t.co/tklAbmH8cM

The other story of Western Homecoming 2024 is the strike. CUPE workers have been walking the picket line for weeks now and are out in full force today. This is the picket line east of Huron University College, on Western Road. https://t.co/btKntyEX6Z

The middle of Broughdale is cordoned off and crowds of partiers are gathered on front porches and front lawns. It’s still early in the day and the notorious party street is far from full. #HOCO2024 https://t.co/kbuiyytPih

Alrighty! It’s Homecoming 2024 and Broughdale is already hopping with purple-clad revellers. One lane of Richmond St. is closed and police and city hall workers are in place. #HOCO2024 https://t.co/4Ky3YdvksE
