November 06, 2006
On November 11, 2006, Albertans will join the rest of the country in remembering the sacrifices of Canada's soldiers in war. In honour of Remembrance Day, a ceremony will be held in the rotunda of the Legislature Building at 11:00 a.m. on November 9.
Canadian troops played an important role in both World Wars and the Korean War, and continue to contribute forces to maintain peace in a number of areas around the world. Remembrance Day provides the opportunity to remember those who gave their lives for freedom, honour those who returned from battle, and thank those who continue to serve our country.
In the November 9 ceremony, wreaths will be laid in memory of those Albertans from all walks of life who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and the many United Nations and NATO operations to preserve peace and order.
Members of the public are invited to attend.
