Remembrance Day

Many Canadians wear the poppy to honour the memory of the Canadians who died in military service during World War 1, World War 2 and other wars.
During World War 1, many Canadians soldiers were buried in an area of France and Belgium known as Flanders. In 1915, John McCrae, a Canadian military doctor, noticed poppies growing in the cemetery field and wrote a poem called "In Flanders Fields."
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
After the poem became famous, the poppy was adopted as a symbol of remembrance. people vowed never to forget the horror of war and many Canadians wear the poppy before Remembrance Day.
Officials signed the peace treaty to end World War 1 in 1918, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. In 1931, the Canadian government declared November 11 Remembrance Day. After World War 2 ended in 1945, it became a memorial for those who died in both wars and all other wars that followed. At 11:00 a.m. On November 11, Canadians observe a moment of silence to remember those who died.
At the Peace Tower in Ottawa, every day is a day of remembrance. The Memorial Chamber has the book of Remembrance that contains the names of Canadian soldiers who gave their lives for their country.
