Veterans’ Week: November 5 to 11, 2025 – Schools Take Time to Remember
Posted on 11/06/2025
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 theme is, Canadian Armed Forces in the Americas, and is an opportunity to recognize and remember military achievements and sacrifices within Canada and throughout the Americas. The 2025 commemorative Veterans’ Week poster features images of Canadian service members in action at home and elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere. Generations of brave Canadians have served in uniform to help defend peace and freedom. They have also deployed to dozens of countries to take part in wars, conflicts, peacekeeping missions, humanitarian operations and other military efforts.
Veterans’ Week and Remembrance Day are special times to honour those who have served across our country’s long military history.
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 2025 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, honour and remember their courage, service and sacrifice.
