Take the time to remember....
On November 11 Canadians will wear poppies and gather at war
memorials across Canada to pay tribute to those who died in war. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11 month, the time the Armistice of the First World War was signed in 1918, we will observe two minutes of silence to remember.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
