Remembrance Day

Due to the time spent in a sardine can (aka Indian local bus), I was unable to post about one of the more significant days of the your for me. Novemember 11th is known as Remembrance Day in Canada (Veterans' Day in the US). It is a day when we honour those who lost their lives fighting for our freedom. At 11 AM on this day, a moment of silence is observed, so we can give thanks for everything we have today.

The origins of this day come from World War One. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, an armistice was signed that ended the deadliest war to date. From then on, this day is a special one in the hearts and minds of Canadians and people around the world.
