(Lansdowne, ON) For some, Remembrance is a single service that they may or may not attend on a single day in November. They gather in parks and auditoriums, churches and other venues to spend an hour considering the great sacrifices of those who gave their lives that they might still live free in the land that they love.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918 – the day and time when the Armistice was signed, bringing an end to the fighting. While not the end of the war, it was the key that brought peace after years of unprecedented bloodshed. The anniversary of this signing is what is celebrated on Remembrance Day each year.
