Shining a Light of Remembrance

Remembrance Day is a time to honour the sacrifice and service of those in the Canadian Armed Forces, who have made our way of life and the freedoms we enjoy possible.

Join us to help shine a light on Canada’s Veterans, fallen heroes, the current serving members of our military and their families who devote their lives in service. Connect with your community through this in-person or virtual workshop and create a Lantern of Remembrance to dedicate to a loved one, a Veteran or a unit or battle. Participants will be encouraged to keep the light of remembrance burning all year long because Remembrance Day is every day.

If you cannot attend with us in person at the MFRC, please register for our virtual session. Whether you attend the workshop in person or virtually, we invite you to participate in a community virtual lighting of remembrance. Take a photo of your lanterns lighting up your homes and share them with us on social media.
