“Whether we live together in confidence and cohesion; with more faith and pride in ourselves and less self-doubt and hesitation; strong in the conviction that the destiny of Canada is to unite, not divide; sharing in cooperation, not in separation or in conflict; respecting our past and welcoming our future.” – Lester B. Pearson

Today, let’s all take a moment to remember those who sacrificed for us and for those who had it far worse than we’ll ever know. Today should not be thought of as a holiday, but as a day to reflect and a day to remember. Lest we forget. Image courtesy of the Vancouver Archives. #RemembranceDay #vancouver
