Why We Wear a Poppy for November 11 | Gabrielle Explains The History of Remembrance Day | TVOkids

Join Gabrielle as she explains how Remembrance Day is a time for Canadians to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served in war to protect our freedom. Every year on November 11, we pause for a moment of silence, wear a red poppy, and join ceremonies and parades to show our gratitude. This tradition reminds us of the bravery that shaped our country. The red poppy became a powerful symbol after it bloomed in the battlefields of Flanders during World War I. By wearing a poppy and taking part in Remembrance Day, we keep their stories alive and express our thanks for their service. Join us in remembering these heroes and celebrating the values they fought for.
