Canadian Remembrance Day is a solemn observance held annually on November 11th to honour and remember the men and women who have served and sacrificed in the armed forces. This day marks the anniversary of the Armistice agreement that ended World War I in 1918.
Key Aspects of Remembrance Day in Canada include:
-A moment of silence: at 11:00 AM, Canadians observe a moment of silence to reflect on the sacrifices made by military personnel.
-Ceremonies: Public ceremonies are held nationwide, including at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. These often feature the laying of wreaths, the playing of “Last Post,” and readings of the poem “For the Fallen.”
-Poppies: Many Canadians wear red poppy pins in the weeks leading up to and on November 11th to symbolize remembrance and respect.
It’s a day to reflect on the courage and dedication of those who have served in wartime and to honour their contributions to peace and freedom.
On this Remembrance Day, we take the opportunity to honour and remember the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country. This day holds significant importance as we reflect on the courage and dedication of our veterans and active service members.
How You Can Participate:
-Wear a poppy to show your support and remembrance.
-Participate in the moment of silence.
-Share stories or memories of veterans in your family or community.
Let us unite to honour those who have given so much for our freedom and peace.
