Canadians gathered on 2026-11-11 for Remembrance Day ceremonies across the country, reflecting on war legacies and honoring those who served and died defending Canada. In Ottawa, Prime Minister Mark Carney, Governor General Louise Arbour, and other dignitaries laid wreaths at the National War Memorial as part of a national ceremony marking 25 years since the start of the Afghanistan war. This conflict saw 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces members serve and 159 lose their lives over more than 12 years, making it Canada's longest military engagement post-World War II. Additionally, the Royal Canadian Legion is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The Ottawa ceremony featured a veterans’ march followed by flypasts from CF-18 fighter jets and a Black Hawk helicopter over the memorial site, while other RCAF aircraft conducted flyovers at local events nationwide.
