November 11, 2026

Every year on November 11, Canadians come together to pause, reflect, and remember the men and women who have served our country.

Remembrance Day is an opportunity to honour the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who answered the call to serve, often under circumstances that most of us can scarcely imagine.

We remember those who lost their lives in service to our country. We also recognize those who returned home carrying the physical and emotional impacts of their experiences, and the families whose lives were forever changed.

Behind every uniform is a person. A son or daughter, a parent, a spouse, a friend, or a neighbour. Each with a story, a family, and a life shaped by service and sacrifice.

Here in our communities of Burnaby, New Westminster, and throughout Metro Vancouver, Remembrance Day brings people together in a shared moment of gratitude and reflection.

Whether we attend a local ceremony, wear a poppy, or simply take a quiet moment to remember, these acts remind us of the importance of honouring those who came before us.

At 11 a.m. on November 11, we observe two minutes of silence. It is a small gesture, but one that carries profound meaning.

The peace and freedoms we enjoy today are not something we should ever take for granted.

To our veterans, past and present, to those currently serving, and to the families who have supported them, we offer our deepest gratitude.

We remember their courage. We honour their sacrifice. And we will not forget.

Lest We Forget.
