While November is recognized as a time of Remembrance for many across Canada, Remembrance is a year-long commitment. There are many opportunities available to anyone wishing to show their appreciation for those who served.
We encourage all community members to pause and reflect at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day in November in remembrance of the women and men who served and sacrificed for all we have today, and to pray for peace and eternal rest for all who lost their lives protecting the freedoms of Canadians.
Lest We Forget.
