City of Charlotte World Day of Remembrance

On Sunday, November 17 at 2 p.m., the City of Charlotte will host a World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims at First Ward Park (301 E. 7th St.).

Sustain Charlotte Director of Engagement and Impact Meg Fencil will speak as part of the program.

On World Day of Remembrance, we grieve and remember those killed and injured in crashes, and we call for leaders to step up to make the changes we know can prevent such tragedies in the future. The City of Charlotte has hosted a World Day of Remembrance event in some capacity since 2019.

This year NC Families for Safe Streets is hosting their annual statewide event in Charlotte in collaboration with CDOT and the Institute for Transportation Research and Education.

This event is free and open to the public.
