Remembrance Day – Lest We Forget

An image of a vibrant red poppy flower in focus, set against a soft, blurred background of other red poppies and green stems. The main flower, positioned slightly off-center, has delicate petals surrounding a dark center. The backdrop features warm, diffused light, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere reminiscent of Remembrance Day.

As we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our freedom, we remember their courage, resilience, and dedication. Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on the profound impact of their service on our lives and to ensure that their legacy lives on.

From Jim Tokos, National President:
“While celebrations are wonderful, it is especially important this month that we remember those who engaged in conflict, and the many who lost their lives for the betterment of all of us. November 11th is a day we set aside to honor those true patriots. A moment of silence and a simple poppy are small gestures to show our gratitude. Let us also remember the Veterans who were instrumental in establishing the Canadian Council of the Blind, and take time to reflect on their contributions.”
