NOVEMBER 10, 2021 -- Remembrance Day is commemorated on November 11^th each year in Canada and marks the ceasefire on the Western Front in World War I in 1918.

On Remembrance Day, Canadians pause to honour the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country during times of war (First World War, Second World War and Korean War), conflict and peace.
