“On Remembrance Day, we pause to remember the sacrifices made by our veterans and members of the Armed Forces to defend the values and freedoms we enjoy to this day. We pause not only to remember the battles our veterans fought, but also the lives they put on hold, the families who waited for them and the scars that accompanied them home.
Whether it’s a family member or friend who answered the call to serve, or someone who came home with wounds — visible or invisible — Remembrance Day holds a special meaning for each of us. And to the brave men and women who never came home at all, we owe a debt of gratitude that can never be fully repaid.
As the years pass, it’s more important than ever that their stories of selflessness and bravery are passed on to Ontario’s young people. To help deepen students’ knowledge and understanding of our veterans and the Canadian Armed Forces, our government is sharing new Remembrance Day guidelines and other resources to support teachers at schools across Ontario.
