“McCrae was a McGill professor and physician. He and his colleagues from Montreal's No. 3 Canadian General Hospital, organized by the university, cared for thousands of soldiers during the First World War.

“In Flanders Fields is still recited each year at Remembrance Day ceremonies across Canada — more than a century after it was written.

“McCrae, serving as a medical officer in the Canadian Expeditionary Force as a lieutenant-colonel, wrote the poem in the spring of 1915 as the war entered its 11th month. Born in Guelph, Ont., he crafted the piece in Belgium following the death of a friend and fellow soldier during the Second Battle of Ypres.”

Today we remember the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our country. As we read the iconic poem 'In Flanders Fields', let us honour the fallen and continue to strive for peace. Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay #InFlandersFields

My son is in Ontario on Remembrance Day (our name for Armistice Day in Canada) for the first time and he was shocked it wasn’t a public holiday like it is in B.C.

He was disappointed to be in Ottawa, just a few minutes away from the National War Memorial by metro, but couldn’t attend because he has classes today.

I agree with him. It is very strange that this day, of all days, is not a national day.

So instead he rushed through his class so he could at least get to the small ceremony held on campus.

How sad that there is so little time and space made for it in our largest and most populous province.

Even in our nation’s capital.
