In Remembrance,


Today is a very special day, let's focus on remembering those who have fought, those that are currently fighting, and those that have lost their lives for our freedom.

It can sound like a cliche, or an overused corny statement, but truly, it is important to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy in Canada. Today, and all-days after, let's silently thank those who have gone to war for the freedom of our country, whether we agree with war or not.

Let's remember those who valiantly fought or fight for our country!


In Flanders Fields

by John McCrae, 1915


In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.


Remembering the soldiers,

Chanel and Heather
