In some provinces, it&#8217;s a holiday and children get the day off school to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies in their communities. In other provinces, kids go to class and listen to bagpipes play and hear the stories of veterans at school assemblies while parents take a moment of silence with their colleagues at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter where you find yourself on November 11th, if you want to honour the legacies of those who gave everything for our freedom &#8211; here are 5 things you can do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wear-a-poppy\">Wear a Poppy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteers with the Royal Canadian Legion will appear in your community to give out poppies in exchange for donations starting the last Friday in October. The donations garnered from poppy sales support veterans and their families within that local community. Just be sure that you follow poppy protocol. The Legion recommends that you keep the pin it comes with rather than using a safety pin, that you wear it on your left lapel, and that you buy a new poppy every year to support our veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-attend-your-community-s-remembrance-day-event\">Attend Your Community&#8217;s Remembrance Day Event<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Most communities have events to commemorate Remembrance Day. These often take place at local memorial parks, community halls, workplaces, and schools. You can contact your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legion.ca\/contact-us\/find-a-branch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">local legion<\/a> to find one in your community to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-talk-to-someone-who-fought\">Talk to Someone Who Fought<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to commemorate the sacrifices of Canadian soldiers is to get a better understanding of the war experiences from someone you love. Talk to a friend, parent, uncle, aunt, or grandparent who fought or supported the war effort. It might be difficult for them to talk about their experiences so be patient. Those who have not fought in a war cannot begin to understand what it is like to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch-the-national-ceremony\">Watch the National Ceremony<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are few things more moving than watching the National Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa. If you&#8217;re in Ottawa, viewing the ceremony in person is an emotional experience, but watching it on TV is also very meaningful. The ceremony starts at 10:20 am EST and features a moment of silence at 11:00 EST. It is shown on all major channels including CTV, CBC, Global, and City TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-a-book\">Read a Book<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about how Canadians served and died in World War I and II, you might want to read novels like <i>The Wars<\/i> by Timothy Findley, <i>Three Day Road<\/i> by Joseph Boyden, and <i>The Stone Carvers<\/i> By Jane Urquhart. Do you prefer non-fiction? Then check out <i>At the Sharp End <\/i>and <i>Shock Troops<\/i> by Tim Cook, both of which chronicle the stories of Canadians fighting in the First World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-a-play\">See a Play<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>*postponed until Fall 2021 due to COVID-19*<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jake&#8217;s Gift is a multi-award winning Canadian play about a World War II veteran&#8217;s reluctant return to Normandy, France, for the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day landings. Since 2007, Jake&#8217;s Gift has played at festivals, schools &amp; theatres in over 220 communities across Canada, and internationally. Jakes Gift is an engaging, mesmerizing and authentic play, that will have you laughing, crying and completely captivated.

The poppy symbol comes from the poem,<i> In Flanders Fields<\/i> written by Canadian military doctor and artillery commander <b>Major John McCrae. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In Flanders fields the poppies blow. Between the crosses, row on row&#8230;&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>McCrae wrote the poem the evening after having to provide burial service for a fellow Canadian serviceman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full text of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warmuseum.ca\/learn\/in-flanders-fields\/#transcript\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">In Flanders Fields<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Helen Reaume writes about retirement planning and investing.
