This Remembrance Day, November 11th, we remember all those who have fought for Canada and for freedom, and we hope that today we can all remember the sacrifices that were made, the lives that were lost, and all the families affected.

We are lucky to know peace in Canada while many other places in the world currently face ongoing armed conflict and many refugees seek shelter in places like Canada. We hope that these conflicts come to an end and that we continue open our doors and welcome those seeking freedom and safety. Let us be kind, compassionate, and understanding of the bravery required to leave one’s life behind because of war and conflict to start anew in an unfamiliar place.
