The funeral at Christ's Church Cathedral in Hamilton is for family and invited guests only, but the public can pay respects by observing the procession that carries the soldier's body through downtown Hamilton to the church.
CBC News Network will provide coverage of the funeral beginning at 10:30 a.m. ET. CBCNews.ca will also live stream the events.
Thousands are expected to line the streets of Hamilton to be part of the ceremony. Here is what you need to know if you plan to observe the events in person or online.

Cirillo's casket will be carried by pallbearers. A flag, his belt, a bayonet and Cirillo's Argylls badge will be placed on top, said Col. Geordie Elms, the mayor's senior adviser of military heritage and protocol and a former commanding officer of the Argylls.
