Remembrance Day
On November 11th we honour the memory of Canadians who died in wars. November 11th was the day the peace treaty to end WW1 was signed. These are things we do to help us remember:
- People wear red poppies because poppies grew in the firelds where Canadian soldiers were buried in France and Belgium
- Wreaths are placed at graves and war memorials
- People attend remembrance ceremonies and parades and observe a moment of silence at 11 am. on Nov.11
In China, there is also a similar day to remember those soldiers who died in wars as well as their ancestors. It has a history over 2,500 years. On that day, people wear white flowers because white flowers represent regret and nostalgia. People also go to sweep their tombs. Therefore, this day is called Tomb-sweeping Day which is on April 5th.
