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

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.
