Today, Canada’s Fallen will be honoured and remembered. Please join us in observing a moment of silence at 11:00 am to mark the sacrifice of the many who have fallen in the service of their country.
#RemembranceDay#CanadaRemembers
At the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, Canadians pause to observe two minutes of silence to honour Canada’s fallen. We pay our respects on this date, because the month, day and time is when the First World War ceased hostilities in 1918.
Coast to coast to coast, Remembrance Day ceremonies will be taking place on November 11th. If you need to find a Remembrance Day ceremony in your community, we have a tool that can help! Please visit: https://t.co/ZNAw1sFRGL to find the ceremony closest to you.
The Riverside Quilters, from the Gordan Howard Centre, recently gave Selkirk #rcmpmb a very special 150 anniversary gift – a handmade RCMP 150 quilt. The truly unique part about this quilt? The red areas are recycled Red Serge material. #RCMP150#MBMonday

To help clear any confusion created by incomplete or inaccurate information being circulated, it’s critical to understand the following: the CAF directive related to prayer is for its chaplains, and does not prevent other spiritual representatives present at Legion-organized Remembrance Day ceremonies from offering a prayer or speaking of God or a higher power. It's the Legion that organizes the national ceremony in Ottawa, as well as many others across our country.
The Legion’s 2023 National Poppy Campaign is launching on October 27! And volunteers across the country are ramping up their efforts.
What can be expected for the 2023 Poppy Campaign? Traditional Poppy boxes will be available at thousands of locations around the country, as well at Tap to Donate electronic boxes. Canadians will be able to donate online, as well. There will also be more biodegradable Poppies and wreaths available. And coming back again this year will be Poppy Stories. Through this wonderful initiative, people can scan a lapel Poppy with a smartphone at https://t.co/Jlxk8F0Mjv, and be taken to discover meaningful short stories about the everyday Canadians who dedicated their lives to serving our country.
And don’t forget, the National Remembrance Day Ceremony will be held on November 11th, 2023. If you would like to find the Remembrance Day Ceremony happening in your community, use our Ceremony Locator tool, by visiting: https://t.co/uoAsnDnR7S

1/2 Why has @minewasko not cleared up that teachers are not "Indoctrinating" children to change their genders in Manitoba schools? He is a teacher. Did he indoctrinate children? Did any of his colleagues? Does the curriculum, which he has control of? Of course the answer..
