There are so many ways to remember and honour our Veterans:

• Wear a poppy.
• Attend your local Remembrance Day ceremony on November 11^th.
• Thank a Veteran by sending a postcard for peace.
• Teachers – order some of our free learning materials and use our Teacher’s Guide to lead your classroom on a remembrance journey.
• Students – read one of our remembrance newspapers written just for K-2, K-Grade 6 and for Grade 7 and above.
• Talk to a friend or relative who served with the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan or in other areas of conflict.
• View our Heroes Remember videos and listen to Veterans talk about their experiences.
• Plant your own Garden of Remembrance.
• Visit the remembrance challenge page where you will find videos and images you can use to create a mashup, build a virtual scrapbook, a fan site or just decorate your own Web space. Share what you build with others and link back to our site.
