A Message From Our President
Service, Courage, and Sacrifice – At home, around the world and across generations
November 11th is Remembrance Day, a day for solemn ceremonies, poppies, and reflection, to honour the those who served and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict, disaster, and peace.
It is a day that is especially poignant for those intimately connected to the military as memories are stirred of loved ones being deployed to dangerous places, of the hardships endured and of the sacrifices families have made to support missions of peace. This year’s Remembrance Day may be particularly solemn because with so many major conflicts happening in the world today, many people are impacted by the catastrophes of war.
Remembrance Day is also to show support for those who currently serve in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) as neutral international troops, also know as Peacekeepers. Peacekeepers are sent to countries in turmoil to help reduce tensions and restore peace. They play vital roles in today’s world, including monitoring ceasefires, patrolling buffer zones, clearing landmines, investigating war crimes, helping refugees, and providing humanitarian aid.
Not only is Remembrance Day for solemn reflection, but it is also an opportunity to honour the important role Canada’s diverse military population has played in creating fundamental political and social changes. For example, when World War II ended, Asian Canadians helped propel the civil rights movement to achieve their equal rights to vote. Canadian women have played an important role in bringing about equal rights in the military, overcoming many of the barriers that prevented women from serving in traditionally male trades.
Ultimately Remembrance Day is a day of gratitude for the sacrifices that veterans have made to defend the rights we enjoy today.
On November 11th wear a poppy and take two minutes to silently reflect on the sacrifice and dedication of those who served our country and for those who serve today for their endless commitment to protecting the freedom of all Canadians.
UPDATE:
WORKING FROM HOME
It is hard to believe that only a year and a half ago I was with the team at the negotiating, bargaining for new benefits like working from home. And now here we are with 90% of us working from home at this time.
