Each year during Veterans’ Week, from November 5 to 11, Canadians remember and honour the brave individuals who served our country in the past, and we recognize those who serve in uniform today.
On November 8, we will observe Indigenous Veteran's Remembrance Day in all schools and board office sites. On this day, we honour the important contributions made by First Nations, Inuit and Métis Veterans in service to Canada. It is about making efforts to better understand the role Indigenous Veterans have played in Canada, and expressing our heartfelt gratitude. Ceremonies are held across Canada to mark this day, and Canadians across the country should pause for a minute or two to honour our Aboriginal veterans.
On November 11, we will observe Remembrance Day in all schools and board office sites. On this day we observe a moment of silence to honour the courage, valour and sacrifice of the heroes who have served – and continue to serve – Canada during times of war and conflict.
