Veterans were led by the sound of drums and bagpipes as they made their way to the National War Memorial, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Governor General Mary Simon marked Remembrance Day and thanked fallen soldiers for protecting Canada’s freedoms.
Gov. Gen. Simon, who’s officially the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, said Remembrance Day is a time to “honour the extraordinary contributions of those who sacrificed their lives to protect our freedoms and values.”
