When is remembrance day ?

Remembrance Day in Canada is a memorial day observed on November 11 (with a notable exception of NS, NWT, ON and QC). This day commemorates members of the armed forces (soldiers, sailors and airmen) who have died in the line of duty. All government buildings fly the Canadian flag on this day, and people remember those who fought for Canada during a two minute silence at 11am. Many people wear poppies before, and on the holiday to show their respect and support for Canadian troops.
