The Origins of Remembrance Day<\/span><\/h4>\n

November 11th is a solemn time of the year, where we remember the sacrifices made by the men and women who have fought for our country. In fact, it’s a day that is observed by all of the countries of the Commonwealth, not just Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remembrance Day started being observed a year after Armistice Day, the day when the hostilities of the First World War came to a close. On November 11th, 1919, with so many lives having been lost in the war, it was decided by King George V that there should be a commemoration. The Armistice was officially declared the year before on November 11th, at 11:00 AM. This is the origin of the phrase “the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month.” Armistice Day’s name was eventually changed to “Remembrance Day.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This year is an especially significant commemoration, as it is the 100th anniversary of the first time we first observed Remembrance Day. It’s a time to pause and reflect on all of the Canadians who have died in war, from 1919 until the present day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recognize Our Veterans This Year<\/span><\/h4>\n

Remembrance Day is recognized as a statutory holiday in most of Canada’s provinces. Rather than closing your pharmacy or healthcare facility on this day, we have candidates who can continue serving your patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you are located in Manitoba, Ontario, or Nova Scotia, there is no statutory holiday in place. If you are a pharmacy\/healthcare facility owner, we want you and your staff to still be able to take this important day off. If you are in this situation, we can also source pharmacy\/healthcare personnel for you on Remembrance Day.<\/span><\/p>\n
