November 11th is Remembrance Day

Each year, Canadians stop for a moment of silence in remembrance of all the people who have served,

and those who continue to serve, Canada during times of peace, conflict, and war. 

Remembrance Day honours those who fought for Canada in the First World War (1914–1918), 

the Second World War (1939–1945), the Korean War (1950–1953), the Gulf War (1990–91), 

in Afghanistan (2001–2014), and in Peacekeeping Missions and Domestic Operations since. 

Remembrance Day is observed across Canada each year on November 11 which is the anniversary of

the Armistice of 1918 that ended the First World War.
