Honouring Veterans Is Our Duty

The Remembrance Day Ceremony has played a major
role in Remembrance since 1931. Every year, at the
eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh
month, we gather in memorial parks, community halls,
workplaces, schools and homes to stand in honour of
all who have fallen. Together, we observe a moment
of silence to mark the sacrifice of the many who have
fallen in the service of their country, and to
acknowledge the courage of those who still serve.
In today’s fast-paced world, it can be easy to take our
way of life for granted, and forget what so many men
and women sacrificed for our freedoms.
Remembrance initiatives remind us to take time to
honour those who have dedicated their lives to serve

our nation.
