Remembrance Day is a memorial day in which we remember members of the armed forces. November 11 is Remembrance Day because it marks the date and time when armies stopped fighting World War I. on November 11 at 11 am in 1918. It was originally called "Armastice Day". Every year, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to remember the men and women who fought to bring peace and safety to our lives. More than 1,500,000 soldiers served our country and more than 118,000 have sacrificed their lives. The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day.
