91探花

Remembrance Day was first observed in 1919 throughout the British Commonwealth. It was originally called 鈥淎rmistice Day鈥� to commemorate armistice agreement that ended the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918, at 11 am鈥攐n the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 2,300,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation鈥檚 history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. Replica poppies are sold by the Royal Canadian Legion to provide assistance to Veterans.

Remembrance Day is a federal statutory holiday in Canada, as well as a statutory holiday in Prince Edward Island. Therefore, 91探花 will be closed on November 11, and will observe Remembrance Day by lowering the flags to half-mast.
