Ottawa has a big ceremony, which we watched on TV. We're aren't able to attend any ceremonies. We've been to our fair share of them. When I taught, we would have prepared for a month for assemblies. The kids were eager to learn. We wrote poems, plays, skits, songs, learned about what went on in history. We talked to family about ancestors who served. Some of my students fled The Gulf War, the horrors and trauma in Vietnam. More recently, Canada has taken in many refugees from Ukraine, as well.
Don't listen to the Opposition Leader. Our PM Trudeau has NOT forbidden prayers at the ceremony. They continue to spread lies.
When you see the Maple Leaf emblazoned on a uniform, you see a legacy of courage and sacrifice. That legacy lives on — through monuments, through ceremonies, through stories of patriotism, and through our remembrance. #CanadaRemembers pic.twitter.com/1ZySqjeiEb

Remembrance Day flyovers were interesting. Ottawa has them, of course. And air traffic has been busy with interesting sightings.

...our Veterans Day seems to have become just another day to have sales!
You remind me that I saw a big, military helicopter yesterday when I looked out the windows in FreshCo.

For some obscure reason, there was a firework show in the evening of the 11th here. Otherwise, all quiet on this western front... YAM xx
We had a flyover down here, One man flew his vintage plane right over our small town, doing a wing wiggle on the way. Josh had to work, guess having a Kiwi on the staff, he could be put to good use as fellow Canadians would want to join in the celebrations.
We also honour those who serve. And I am glad to say we also take in refugees (who make our country richer).
It looks like you had a very beautiful and somber Remembrance Day. Thank you for sharing the moments with us.
I love the idea of the windsock for the birds. I hope it works!
Happy belated Remembrance Day, Jenn.
Got a "failed to publish," but will keep trying. Not sure why this has started again.
