Facts On Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day commemorates Canadians who died in the First and Second World Wars, and the Korean War. It is held every
November 11.
•
• The first Remembrance Day was conducted in 1919 throughout the Commonwealth. Originally called Armistice Day, it commemorated the end of the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m.: the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh
month.
•
•
From 1923 to 1931, Armistice Day was held on the Monday of the week in which November 11 fell. Thanksgiving was also celebrated on this day.
•
The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. Replica poppies are sold by the Royal Canadian Legion to raise money for Veterans.
In 1931, MP Allan Neill introduced a bill to hold Armistice Day on a fixed day - November 11. During the bill's introduction, it was decided the word
"Remembrance" would be used instead of "Armistice." The bill passed and Remembrance Day was first conducted on November 11, 1931. Thanksgiving
Day was moved to October 12 that year.
The Canada Remembers Program through Veterans Affairs Canada endeavours to keep alive the achievements and sacrifices made by those who served
Canada in times of war, armed conflict and peace and to promote an understanding of the significance of these efforts in Canadian life as we know it today.
As most people in Canada today have never experienced war, "Remembrance" becomes a challenging concept to incorporate. How do you remember what
you haven't known? Some have been fortunate to have had relatives; grandparents, aunts, uncles, great-grand parents, who shared their stories of war and
peace. Although many of us cannot actually "remember," we owe it to those who have served to learn, to understand, and to appreciate the task they have
undertaken. Generations of Canadian Veterans, through their courage, determination and sacrifice have helped to ensure that we live in a free and peaceful
country. If we can understand this, how can we not pause and say "thank you" in remembrance of such an accomplishment?

Feature of the Month
ARMS OPEN
Arms Open is a service that provides companionship and respite services for
seniors and their caregivers. Arms Open enables seniors to stay at home or
travel, as long as possible, by providing trusted individual care, privacy, safety
and dignity. Arms Open is available to go to your home at any time, for however long you need the help and you can have the same person come to your
home whether it be for an hour or a weekend or weeks at a time. Arms Open
has ten years experience working with seniors and their caregivers and is especially looking forward to helping the underserviced areas of Wahnapitae,
Markstay, Hagar, Verner, Warren, St. Charles and Noelville.
“I’ve always enjoyed being with seniors. Their life stories can be incredible. Having worked with seniors, I know they would much
prefer to be at home or with family, but sometimes they need that extra bit of help. The number one fear our seniors have is falling. Having someone there can be a great relief.” says the Director of Care Sue Grier.
Sue Grier has ten years experience as a personal support worker in a long term care facility and thoroughly enjoys being with
seniors. Her genuine concern for their emotional and physical well-being makes her an ideal person to provide this type of much
needed service. She invites seniors and caregivers of seniors to contact her for more information at 677-4747 or at

“Around and About Town”
A New Front for Education in Markstay-Warren
By Christiane Colard
There has been a lot of construction going on in the Town of Markstay-Warren
these past few months. Two of the town’s four schools have been getting
makeovers. Markstay Public School, on Pioneer Street in Markstay, has received a facelift over the past few months. New windows and a new exterior
have been installed making the school look brand new. There is also a new
play structure outside for students to enjoy, which is also accessible to community children during the after-school hours. École publique Camille-Perron
students saw their school torn down over the summer to make way for a brand
new building . The new portion of the school will have four classrooms, a daycare center, an office, a teacher’s lounge and two washrooms. The part of the
building that remains will still contain the gymnasium, the library/computer
room, the science laboratory, three classrooms and a book room, as well as
two washrooms. St. Mark’s School, which currently shares the building with
École publique Camille-Perron, will still be able to use the school after the
renovations and construction. Presently, Camille-Perron and St. Marc students
are enjoying recesses at the Rainbow’s Edge playground, across the street
from the school. When the construction is complete, both schools will enjoy a
fully renovated schoolyard. Students from Markstay-Warren and surrounding
area are certainly being treated to beautifully renovated buildings. They will
soon be learning more within these new, comfortable environments.
