Remembrance Day is November 11. Today at LTSS we will observe Remembrance Day Assemblies.

Armistice Day was established to honour the fallen soldiers of Canada in “The Great War” of 1914-1918. Later, the name of the day was changed to Remembrance Day. Despite the horrors of “The War to End All Wars,” Canadians would go on to serve, and die, in another World War, as well as other conflicts and peacekeeping missions around the globe. Remembrance Day is a national holiday to honour the memory of those Canadians who have fallen in war.

Remembrance Day is not meant to celebrate war or glorify war. War has brought untold suffering and pain to the world. Those who have experienced war, especially those that have lost loved ones in war, know that war is not something to celebrate. Instead, we pay our respects to those whose lives were cut short by the horror of war.

Please take some time to reflect on what Remembrance Day is all about. On November 11th at 11:00 AM, plan to take some time to honour those that have died and those that have served. Whether you attend a ceremony in person, or check out the television coverage of the ceremony in Ottawa or other parts of Canada, take some time for Remembrance.
