THOSE WHO Remembering LOST THEIR LIVES AND THE LOVED ONES THEY LEFT BEHIND

Today we honour the memory of the brave soldiers who made the ultimate sacri ce to protect our nation and our way of life. Their dedication to our country makes us proud to be Canadians, and we owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. On Remembrance Day, we salute our nation’s fallen and the families who carry on without them. Their heroic spirit and sacri ce will never be forgotten. We will alwaysays remember that freedom is not free.
