Join us for this beloved community tradition hosted by the veterans of the Rayson-Miller American Legion Post 899. Road Closures: 9:00-11:00am. The parade will start at 10 a.m. by Sutherland High School, proceed down Jefferson Road to Main Street, and end at the Pittsford Cemetery. Following the parade, a remembrance ceremony will be held in the cemetery at the Soldiers' Plot. After the ceremony, the Legion will host a reception at Village Hall (21 N. Main Street). Everyone is welcome to stop by for refreshments and say hello to our Vets. Pittsford seniors are invited to participate in the parade as representatives of the Pittsford Senior Center — walk with the Senior Center banner or ride on the bus. Arrive at the Spiegel Community Center by 9:15 AM on Memorial Day. To reserve a spot, call the Senior Center at (585) 248-6235.

As warmer weather brings increased activity along the canal pathway, Village staff continues to monitor growing safety concerns along the canal corridor involving speeding bicycles, close calls with pedestrians, and conflicts in heavily traveled areas. We remind all cyclists and pedestrians to remain alert, courteous, and mindful of shared pathway safety. Cyclists must yield to pedestrians, reduce speed in congested areas and dismount in any crowded area to allow safe passage. It is nesting and hatching season. Please use extra caution along the Canal Path where wildlife, including families of geese and other waterfowl, may be present. Sadly, we had two fatalities of baby geese this week as they were hit by a speeding cyclist.
