OTTAWA, ON – Canadians are paying respects to the country’s war dead at sombre Remembrance Day ceremonies across the country.
Thousands of people wearing poppies stood in silence as cannons boomed and military aircraft flew past the National War Memorial in Ottawa as the clock on the Peace Tower struck 11 a.m.
Navy Capt. Bonita Mason said a prayer during the ceremony, and noted the ongoing war in Ukraine and the importance of military families.
She also called on Canadians to set aside their divisions and embrace reconciliation and dialogue.
