Remembrance Day 2016


My sister's observation - less people wear poppies this year. It maybe only because they don't pin their poppies on their outerwears but on their shirts or sweaters.

I usually start wearing the poppy after I saw our Governor General David Johnston received the symbolic first poppy on TV. i.e. before Halloween.

It's so sad that some peoples steal poppy boxes. This is why we can't make Remembrance Day as a school holiday. Everyone should learn the meaning of Remembrance Day and the poppy pin.

If you're planning to go to the National War Memorial in Ottawa for Remembrance Day Ceremony, please dress warm. According to Environment Canada, today will be mainly cloudy with 30% chance of flurries or rain showers. With the northwest wind gusting from 30 km/h to 50 km/h, during the ceremony, the temperature may feel like as low as -1°C.

If you attend the Remembrance Day Ceremony elsewhere in Canada, please check your local weather forecast and dress warm.
