Introduction
Key aspects of Remembrance Day:
Commemorates the armistice signed on November 11, 1918, ending World War I (at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month)
A moment of silence is observed at 11:00 AM.
People wear red poppies as a symbol of remembrance.
Ceremonies are held at war memorials and cenotaphs.
It's a solemn day of reflection, not celebration.
In the United States, a similar observance is called Veterans Day (also November 11), though it honours all military veterans, both living and deceased.
In Georgina, Ontario (your area), there are likely local Remembrance Day ceremonies at cenotaphs or community centres, where residents gather to pay their respects.

Remembrance Day commemorates the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, marking the end of World War I.
Originally centred around the end of that war, Remembrance Day today honours all those who have served and gave their lives in past wars.
At this time, we honour the bravery and ultimate sacrifice of our soldiers through introspection, thanksgiving, and a commitment to peace.
