"They gave up their tomorrow so that we could have our today."

Though the cold Canadian autumn air of November reminds us of the distances we have traveled, standing together to honor those who served connects us deeply to our communities across Ontario and Canada. Every year on November 11, Canadians pause to remember the courage, service, and sacrifice of those who fought to protect peace and freedom.
