OTTAWA — Canadians across the country will pause at 11 a.m. to reflect on the sacrifices and service of Canadian Armed Forces members to mark Remembrance Day.
This year is the 25th anniversary of the start of the Afghanistan war in which 40,000 Canadians served and 159 lost their lives.
This year’s ceremonies also take place just weeks after the tragic fire at Canadian Armed Forces Base Wainwright. Four soldiers were killed and dozens were injured when a wildfire suddenly overtook a training exercise.
All times are listed in Eastern Standard Time.
