November 11th marks a day of profound significance across Canada—Remembrance Day. This solemn occasion provides a poignant opportunity for Canadians to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served their country, honouring their courage, commitment, and unwavering dedication.

Originally called Armistice Day, this commemoration started to honour the end of World War I, which occurred on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Over time, it evolved to encompass all veterans who served and continue to serve in conflicts worldwide, signifying a day to recognize their contributions and honour their memory.

The red poppy, a poignant symbol associated with Remembrance Day, was inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields” written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifice of those who lost their lives in war and a tribute to their courage and valour. Wearing a poppy in the days leading up to November 11th is a tradition that symbolizes respect and gratitude for those who have served.

Remembrance Day is a time for reflection and gratitude. It’s an opportunity to honour the resilience and bravery of the men and women who sacrificed their lives and those who continue to serve our country. It’s a moment to recognize the immeasurable contributions they have made to preserve the values of freedom, democracy, and peace.

• Attend a Remembrance Day service or ceremony in your local community. Many towns and cities organize events to commemorate this day.
• Take a moment of silence at 11:00 AM, honouring the armistice that ended World War I.
• Visit a local war memorial or museum to pay respects and learn about the history of those who served.

Passing down the importance of Remembrance Day to younger generations ensures that the sacrifices made by veterans are never forgotten. Educating children about the significance of this day and why it’s essential to honour those who served is key to preserving the legacy of these heroes.

As Canadian Remembrance Day approaches, let us take the time to pay homage to the bravery and sacrifice of our veterans. Let us remember and honour their contributions, ensuring that their courage and dedication are always cherished and never forgotten.

This Remembrance Day, let’s come together as a nation to honour and remember those who have given so much for our freedom and peace.

“Lest we forget.”
