Veterans' Week November 5 to 11, 2024, poster. Canadian Armed Forces around the world. This commemorative poster features two crew members of a RCAF CH-148 Cyclone helicopter looking down on HMCS Montréal in April 2022. The Canadian warship and helicopter air detachment were serving in the Mediterranean Sea as part of Operation Reassurance.

Veterans' Week is a time to honour, celebrate, remember and thank all those who have served and are currently serving Canada in times of war, military conflict and peacekeeping missions.

As noted on the Veterans Affairs Canada website, this year’s Veterans’ Week poster, Canadian Armed Forces: Around the World, marks the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). Generations of brave Canadians have served in uniform to help defend peace and freedom. Our military personnel perform many important duties here at home. They have also deployed to dozens of countries to take part in wars, conflicts, peacekeeping missions, humanitarian operations and other military efforts.

All Canadians are asked to make remembrance more than something you feel - make it something you do by taking an active role in commemoration. Schools in the Strait Region take time to remember through a variety of activities including, but not limited to, in-class discussion and instruction; ceremonies; reading, writing and art activities; as well as displays.

Taking part in remembrance activities develops a deeper understanding of the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and continue to serve. There are many ways to commemorate Remembrance Day, November 11, and Veterans' Week 2024 including observing one minute of silence, watching or attending a Remembrance Day ceremony, reading a book, speaking with and thanking a Veteran or Legion Member or wearing a poppy above your heart. The important thing is to take time to remember.

The Strait Regional Centre for Education extends sincere thanks to all veterans and Royal Canadian Legion members who give generously of their time to help students in the Strait Region develop a deeper understanding of remembrance and of the sacrifices and achievements of those who served and continue to serve Canada.

We recognize and remember their courage, service and sacrifice.
