Throughout November, we invite you to REMEMBER with us.
The Canadian War Museum is the ideal place to learn more about Canada’s military history and remember the service, sacrifice and loss of those who served.
Canada recognizes Remembrance Day, originally called Armistice Day, every November 11 at 11 am. The Day marks the end of hostilities during the First World War and is an opportunity to recall all those who have served in wartime.
How will you remember? Let us know on Facebook, Instagram or X. #RemembranceDay
