• Public interest in Remembrance Day still strong after 100 years

  07-11-2018 22:55 via ottawacitizen.com
  Public interest in Remembrance Day events is staying strong and participation is rising over time, says a survey commissioned by Veterans Affairs Canada.
  Ninety-one per cent of Canadians said last Remembrance Day that they or their immediate families participated in some way, mostly by wearing poppies or observing a minute of silence.
