While taking a moment of silence is a special thing to do while you’re at home, there are also many events taking place where you can learn more about the day, the history of Canada’s role in the World War, or also pay your respect along with others in the city or town of your choice.

If you’re interested in joining a ceremony, the Legion offers a searchable database of all the ceremonies taking place across the country or you can also visit the Government of Canada Veterans website to see the larger commemorative events taking place across the country.

If you’re looking for some great museums, we highly recommend the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa/Gatineau, the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, the Military Museums in Calgary, this 1812 virtual exhibition, or many of the other museums from coast to coast that you see on this list. In addition, you can always make an adventure out of it and fly to France to see the Juno Beach Centre. How cool would that be?
