Remembrance Day — No Classes
On remembrance day members of the armed forces (soldiers, sailors and airmen) are commemorated. All government buildings fly the Canadian flag this day and people remember those who fought for Canada during a two minute silence at 11am. Many people wear poppies before and on Remembrance Day to show their respect and support for Canadian troops. Poppies are generally handed out free but often a voluntary donation is given in exchange.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation — No classes
The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process. On September 30, we encourage all Canadians to wear orange to honour the thousands of Survivors of residential schools.
