Veterans’ Week

Veterans’ Week, remember them

They are our fathers, brothers, mothers and sisters, neighbours … heroes.

Canada's Veterans.

Their courage, service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

November 11, let’s remember them.

Canada’s Veterans - Remember them

Each year, in November, hundreds of commemorative ceremonies and events take place across the country to commemorate Veterans’ Week and Remembrance Day. These are opportunities for all Canadians to recognize the contribution our Veterans have made and to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of Canada.

There are so many ways to remember and honour our Veterans:

• Wear a poppy.
• Attend your local Remembrance Day ceremony on November 11^th.
• Thank a Veteran by sending a postcard for peace.
• Teachers - order some of our free learning materials and use our Teacher’s Guide to lead your classroom on a remembrance journey.
• Students - read one of our remembrance newspapers written just for K-Grade 2, K-Grade 6 and for Grade 7 and above.
• Talk to a friend or relative who served with the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan or in other areas of conflict.
• View our Heroes Remember videos and listen to Veterans talk about their experiences.
• Plant your own Garden of Remembrance.
