REMEMBRANCE DAY

Every year since 1931, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we gather in memorial parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes to stand in honour of all who have fallen. Together, we observe a moment of silence to mark the sacrifice of the many who have fallen in the service of their country, and to acknowledge the courage of those who still serve.         


The Act of Remembrance

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
We will remember them.


 




Here is a video of the Remembrance Day 2024 ceremony in Invermere. It was a very windy day so the sound is not the best it could be. Thanks to Marleen for filming this.
