On November 11th, people all across Canada reflect on what it means to serve our beautiful country. The courage, service and honour many Canadian men and women faced in the past is worth remembering.

We wear a poppy over a heart to remember. We have a moment of silence to remember. And most importantly, we surround ourselves with our loved ones to remember those who have lost theirs.

This year, there are many ceremonies and parades taking place around metro Vancouver that will honour the brave men and women who selflessly fought for everyone in Canada.
