Remembrance Day origins and global commemorations

The article traces Remembrance Day from a memorial to a German fortress to a 1950 Armistice Day rededication. It notes the shift to Remembrance Day after World War II, cenotaph ceremonies in London and Ottawa, poppy symbolism, and the role of the Canadian Forces in national observances across provinces.

Remembrance Day Bid Nears National Holiday Status

New Democrat MP Dan Harris pushed Bill C-597 through second reading in the House of Commons by 258 to 2 to make Remembrance Day a statutory holiday. The measure moves to the heritage committee before final passage, with provinces to decide labour code changes where Nov 11 is not currently a holiday. Harris cites WWI centenary and recent attacks, noting momentum. The deaths of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo are cited as context.
