Remembrance Month in Canada

November is Remembrance Month

Highway 90 from Barrie

Canada marks Veterans’ Week from November 5 to 11 to honour and remember those who served our country, and  those who serve today.  

There are many ways to remember year round by observing some of Canada's military history and significant dates, and, or,  visiting a military museum. 

Borden has a military museum

In addition to two military highways there are significant locations around the Province north, north east and northwest of Toronto where one might visit and reflect on Canada’s Military contribution to our country.
