What is Remembrance Day in Canada? The History Behind November 11th

24 days ago
51

Every year on November 11th, Canadians pause to honour the brave men and women who served our country — those who fought for freedom, and those who never came home.
In this special episode of Stanley in the See Can, we look back at the history of Remembrance Day — where it began, what it symbolizes, and why it still matters today.
We talk about:
🔸 The signing of the armistice that ended the fighting in World War I
🔸 The meaning behind the poppy and In Flanders Fields
🔸 The Battle of Vimy Ridge — a defining moment for Canada
🔸 How over 66,000 Canadians gave their lives in WWI
🔸 Why our VR-66 name pays tribute to their sacrifice
Remembrance Day isn’t about politics or debate — it’s about respect. It’s a time to reflect on courage, unity, and the cost of peace.
So on November 11th, at 11:00 a.m., we’ll be standing in silence — and we hope you will too.
Lest We Forget.
