On Thursday, November 11, we will lay wreaths at the base of the cenotaph and observe a moment of silence ~ surrounded by veterans. Remembering the hundreds of thousands who served in the First and Second World Wars, Korea, on UN missions, NATO and in Vietnam and now Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lest we forget, let us wear our red poppies. Honour these brave individuals and recognize that Canadian soldiers and civilians continue to serve around the world today.
