REMEMBRANCE DAY

Remembrance Day is a time to honour those who have served, and those who gave their lives, throughout the entire year, not only on November 11. This space offers information and resources to help students and staff learn the stories of those who served, including the voices history left out, and reflect on the value of peace.
