Remembrance Day – Honouring Our Soldiers

SelfAdvocateNet.com proudly stands in support of Remembrance Day as we salute the brave soldiers who have served and continue to serve our country. This year, we will highlight why it is important for self-advocates to understand the deep commitment our soldiers make to keep Canada safe, and the dedication they show in doing what is right for our country. Our Remembrance Day theme will focus on respect, gratitude, and understanding. We will share messages for our self-advocates, sponsors, and supporters, reminding us all of the importance of honouring those who protect our freedoms. There will also be fun and meaningful activities that you can take part in on the day, as well as videos and event coverage from across British Columbia. We’ll also be featuring statements from our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, and Premier, David Eby, as they share their reflections for Remembrance Day 2025. Let’s come together to remember, reflect, and show our appreciation for the courage and sacrifices made by our soldiers—past and present.

We start with what is Remembrance Day

Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 2,300,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice

The Prime Minister, Mark Carney, Statement on Remembrance Day

November 11, 2025 Ottawa, Ontario

“Today, we honour the service of the brave women and men who answered the call. Those who sacrificed years away from loved ones, those who returned from combat forever changed, those who never came home.

In an increasingly dangerous and divided world, remembrance is also vigilance. Our sovereignty and our security – and those of our allies – are not guaranteed. The women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces protect them every day. They rush to communities as wildfires and floods roll in, they airlift life-saving aid across waters, they stand guard in the Arctic, and they defend NATO’s Eastern Flank. When people see a maple leaf on a sleeve or the back of a truck – they see hope, they get help.

Today, we pause to remember those acts of heroic service. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, our way of life were fought for and were won by Canadians who answer the call.

Lest we forget.”

BC Premier’s Statement on Remembrance Day

Victoria Tuesday, November 11, 2025 7:30 AM

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking Remembrance Day:

“On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, at the precise moment in 1918 that guns were silenced to end the First World War, British Columbians join others across Canada in two minutes of silence. It is a symbolic time of contemplation to honour the fallen and to recognize the sacrifices of all who serve and have served.

“At cenotaphs across the province, we stand with veterans, merchant mariners and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces to reflect on the terrible cost of war.

“We do so this year at a time of renewed interest in what it means to be Canadian. Our country forged part of its identity on the battlefields of faraway lands: Vimy, Passchendaele, Dieppe, Juno Beach, Kapyong. Those simple placenames hold stories of heroism and horror, of sacrifice and dedication, of perseverance and resilience.

“Canadians also made important contributions to supporting the multinational coalition in Afghanistan, notably in the southern province of Kandahar, where soldiers engaged in large-scale battles and daily firefights, as well as enduring such hazards as travel along roads seeded with improvised explosive devices.

“More than 40,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces served in the war, our largest deployment since the Second World War, in a conflict lasting 12 years, the longest in our history. The war claimed the lives of 158 Canadian soldiers. Many others were wounded in action and while serving. Others came home suffering from their time spent in a war zone.

“Canadians are also rightly proud of our tradition as peacekeepers, an idea championed by diplomat Lester B. Pearson, who won a Nobel Peace Prize before serving as prime minister in the 1960s.

“On Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the sacrifices of those who served, as we also acknowledge the sacrifices of those at home who waited for them to return. We recognize the bravery of those who served, as well as the ongoing commitment of those today who seek to preserve peace and security.

“On this sombre day, we remember the fallen, forever young in memory. Lest we forget.”

Why We Wear Poppies On Remembrance Day

Why do we wear poppies? The reason poppies are used to remember those who have given their lives in battle is because they are the flowers which grew on the battlefields after World War One ended. This is described in the famous World War One poem In Flanders Fields.

Community Living Month Oct 2026

October 2026 has been proclaimed Community Inclusion Month in British Columbia, recognizing the importance of building communities where everyone has the opportunity to belong, participate, and thrive. The proclamation is an important statement of what an inclusive province should look like: a place where everyone has opportunity, choice and control in their own lives, and where people with disabilities are welcomed as full and valued members of their communities. But a proclamation is only the beginning. The real work of
