Remembrance Day in Canada…
Observed every year on November 11, is a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring the courage and sacrifice of those who served in the Armed Forces. It marks the anniversary of the end of World War I in 1918, when the armistice was signed at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. On this day, Canadians participate in ceremonies held at cenotaphs and war memorials across the country. A moment of silence is observed at 11:00 AM to honor the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and peace. The red poppy flower, symbolizing remembrance, is worn by many as a tribute to fallen heroes.
