Veterans/Remembrance Day

VETERANS DAY

also Remembrance Day

Rememberance Day is observed in Canada and carries much of the same meaning as America’s Veterans Day. Commemorated on November 11th, this memorial day honors military veterans who served in the Armed Forces during the First World War.

History

At 11 A.M. on November 11, 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell Silent after more than four years of continous warfare when the Armistice with Germany took effect. Thus, the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month attained a special significance in the post-war years.
