This week, we pay tribute to the Canadians who served there.

[The Royal Canadian Legion @RoyalCdnLegion]

Thousands of digital advertising signs across Canada will go black on Remembrance Day this year, to be replaced with a message of Remembrance and three important figures: 11-11-11.
The Royal Canadian Legion’s important initiative involves the voluntary decision by several major advertisers across the country to mark the traditional two minutes of silence held from 11:00 - 11:02 a.m. on Remembrance Day, by not displaying any advertisements during that time.

Des affichages numériques dans tout le Canada signaleront les deux minutes de silence. Cette année, des milliers de panneaux publicitaires numériques partout au pays passeront au noir à l’occasion du jour du Souvenir, pour être remplacés par un message de commémoration et trois chiffres importants : 11-11-11.

L’initiative de la Légion royale canadienne inclut la décision volontaire de plusieurs grands annonceurs à travers le pays de marquer les deux minutes de silence traditionnelles qui ont lieu de 11 h à 11 h 2 le jour du Souvenir, en n’affichant aucune publicité durant ce laps de temps.
