On November 11, let us remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed to protect the lives and freedoms we enjoy today.
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we mark the month, day and time when the First World War ceased hostilities. Canadians will pause to observe two minutes of silence to show our gratitude to those who have served, many of whom gave their lives.
In remembering, we must also ensure that their efforts were not in vain. We must commit to building on their legacy to create a world that is peaceful, safe and inclusive for all.
