Lest We Forget
Submitted By Executive on Sunday, November 6, 2016
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the
11th month, Canadians are asked to pause in memory of the thousands of men and
women who sacrificed their lives in military service.
We honour their commitment to the
values of freedom, democracy and human rights that we all share.
We also pause in a silent moment to remember those who have fought and died to
defend these values.
On November 11, remember them
They are our grandfathers, brothers, mothers and sisters, neighbours ... heroes. Canada’s Veterans - their courage, service and sacrifices have kept us strong, proud and free.
