Every year on November 11, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave everything so we could live in freedom. It’s a day to stop, to reflect, and to feel deep gratitude for those who made the ultimate sacrifice — and for those who still serve to keep us safe.

Their courage wasn’t just about what they did on the battlefield or in uniform. It was about their belief in something bigger than themselves — community, country, and the idea that we’re stronger when we look out for one another.

That same spirit can guide us today.
Remembrance Day isn’t only about looking back — it’s also about what we do moving forward. It’s about carrying that sense of service into our own lives: helping a neighbour, volunteering our time, or supporting a cause that makes a difference.

So as you wear your poppy and take that moment of silence, think about how you can turn remembrance into action. A small act of kindness, a gift to a cause you believe in, or simply taking the time to thank someone who serves — it all matters.

Let’s honour their sacrifice by continuing their legacy of compassion and courage.

Lest we forget.
