The eleventh hour. The eleventh day. The eleventh month.
100 years after the First World War ended, Canada remembers the Armistice as the culmination of four years of valour and sacrifice that stretched from Ypres to Vimy Ridge, and from Passchendaele to Mons, where the ceasefire marked the end of hostilities and the beginning of our need to never forget.
The Armistice of 1918 signalled the end of a conflict that changed the world and claimed the lives of nine million combatants, including 66,655 Canadians.
