REMEMBRANCE DAY is a day to honour people who helped keep us safe and made Canada what it is today. As one young child shared a few years ago ....
Peace is when you smile at someone and make the world a tiny bit brighter
Peace is when you hear a baby laugh, or give a hug to the hurt
— Excerpt from a poem by 10-year-old Amaya M from Winnipeg
The World War I poem, "In Flanders Fields," by John McCrea, inspired the Memorial Day custom of wearing red artificial poppies.
In addition to wearing a poppy, we give a moment of 'silence' on November 11 to remember loved ones and honour those who helped to make Canada what it is today.
How do you and your family honour soldiers who made a sacrifice?
Is there anyone you know who has served or is serving our country?
