OTTAWA, ON, Nov. 11, 2026 /CNW/ -- On Remembrance Day, we honour Canada's veterans, remember those who never returned home and recognize the members of the Canadian Armed Forces who continue to serve our country today.
As commander-in-chief, I invite all Canadians to pause and reflect on the courage and dedication of the Canadian Armed Forces members, and on the sacrifices borne by their families and communities.
Remembrance connects us across generations. It is a reminder of the terrible human cost of war and of our responsibility to uphold peace, human dignity and the rule of law, especially in the context of armed conflict.
This year, our remembrance carries added weight following the tragedy at CFB Wainwright. Our thoughts remain with the soldiers we lost, those who were wounded, as well as the families, friends, comrades and all others affected by this tragic event.
Such moments remind us that behind every uniform is a human being: someone who serves with dedication, accepts risk on behalf of others and is supported by loved ones who share in the sacrifices that service often demands.
As we remember those who served before us and those we have recently lost, may we honour their legacy by renewing our commitment to a more peaceful world.
We will remember them.
Louise Arbour
