brief history

Memorial Day was originally known as Armistice Day. First inaugurated by King George V in 1919, it is celebrated on the second Monday in November. However, the Canadian parliament has officially passed a bill making the first Monday of the week of November 11 the observance of the fallen people’s ritual. As this collided with the celebration of Thanksgiving, most Canadians quietly observed Armistice Day.

By 1928, some recognized veterans and people were seeking further recognition. They insisted that this day be cut off from the celebration of Thanksgiving so that they could properly remember their deceased brothers and sisters. Their efforts proved fruitful in 1931 when the federal government moved Thanksgiving to another date and marked November 11 as the official memorial day. Today, November 11th, 11 am is marked as the day that marks the end of the war between Germany and the Commonwealth. The war ended at 11 am on November 11, 1918 after more than four years of fighting on the Western Front. 118,000 Canadians lost their lives in the war.
