On Remembrance Day, we honour the Canadians who served and sacrificed in war, military conflicts and peacekeeping missions.

Senator Rebecca Patterson, a retired rear-admiral, reflects on why remembrance matters and the importance of ensuring the voices of serving members and veterans continue to be heard.

As Remembrance Day approaches, the annual Poppy Drop honours Canadians who served and sacrificed.

Thousands of virtual poppies and a Wall of Remembrance illuminate the Senate of Canada Building from 6:30 p.m. to midnight ET today and tomorrow.

👀 The Peace Tower is about to disappear from view!

A steel scaffold frame is being installed around the iconic landmark as part of Centre Block’s rehabilitation, setting the stage for the tower’s masonry and structural upgrades.

Senator Dawn Arnold and @SenatorRobBlack visited the Senate’s permanent home to learn more about the work underway and to take a closer look at the tower’s heritage details before they’re temporarily hidden.

Remembrance is more than a moment. It’s a responsibility.

After 34 years in the @CanadianForces, Senator Rebecca Patterson brings a veteran’s perspective to Parliament, where she works to ensure the people behind military service have a voice in decisions that affect them.
