Canadians Honor Veterans on Remembrance Day with Recent Losses in Mind
Prime Minister Mark Carney joined Governor General Louise Arbour at Ottawa's National War Memorial for wreath-layings and tributes to veterans. The ceremonies gained deeper meaning after four soldiers—Sergeant Morgan Wong, Private Shaun Farrell, Private Aidan Goulding, and Private Hayden Lykkemark—died in a CFB Wainwright accident, with Carney offering thoughts to their families. In Vancouver, hundreds marched in a parade past Victory Square, featuring diverse young participants, while Carney posted that remembrance is a promise to defend what service members won. Poppies bloomed nationwide alongside the call 'Lest we forget.'
