poppy

The University of Winnipeg will be closed for Remembrance Day on Friday, November 11, 2005.

“We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifice of those one hundred thousand Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for us, for their homes and families and friends, for a collection of traditions they cherished and a future they believed in; they died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice rests with our collective national consciousness; our future is their monument.”

– Heather Robertson, A Terrible Beauty, The Art of Canada at War.
