2022年11月5日至11日是退伍军人纪念周，是我们纪念那些为和平与自由而付出生命的勇敢加拿大人的时刻。
在这一周中，CBE学校将以对其学校社区有意义的课程和活动来纪念这个场合。例如，一些学校将邀请当地的退伍军人来听取他们亲身经历的真实故事，其他学校将为退伍军人食品银行筹集物品。
11月8日星期二 - 土著退伍军人日
土著退伍军人日纪念了第一民族、麦蒂斯族和因纽特人在加拿大武装部队服务中的重要贡献，据估计有超过12,000名土著男女参与了这一服务。
直到1995年，土著退伍军人才被允许在国家战争纪念碑前敬献花圈，以表达对阵亡者的敬意。土著退伍军人日始于1994年11月8日的温尼伯，旨在承认土著退伍军人的重要性，在传统的11月11日纪念仪式中他们没有得到足够的认可。
土著人民的慷慨精神不仅仅体现在自愿服役之上。虽然有些男女参军，但加拿大各地的原住民社区还捐赠了资金、食品和材料，提供土地用于机场和国防设施。
11月10日星期四 - 学校活动
在11月10日星期四，所有CBE学校将默哀两分钟，并在校内举行纪念日集会，以纪念我们的众多军人，认识加拿大人在武装冲突中所做出的牺牲。
11月11日星期五 - 纪念日
为纪念纪念日，所有CBE学校和办公室将在星期五关闭。旗帜也将降至半旗。
我们邀请每个人抽出时间，向所有为保卫我们的自由而服务的人致敬。
November 5-11, 2022 is Veterans’ Week, a time to remember the generations of brave Canadians who have put their lives on the line in the cause of peace and freedom.
During this week, CBE schools will mark the occasion with lessons and events meaningful to their school community. For example, some schools will host local veterans to hear real-life stories of their personal experiences and others with collect items for the veterans’ food bank.
Tuesday, Nov. 8 – Indigenous Veterans Day
Indigenous Veterans Day observes the significant past and present contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in service to the Canadian Armed Forces. It is estimated that over 12,000 First Nation People, Métis, Inuit men and women served.
It was not until 1995 that Indigenous veterans were allowed to lay a wreath at the National War Memorial to honour the fallen. Indigenous Veterans Day started in Winnipeg on Nov. 8, 1994, as a way to recognize the importance of Indigenous Veterans, who were not recognized during traditional November 11 ceremonies.
The generous spirit of Indigenous people goes beyond volunteering to serve. While some men and women enlisted in the military, First Nation communities around Canada donated money, food, and materials as well as provided land for airports and defence installations.
Thursday, Nov. 10 – School Events
On Thursday, Nov. 10, all CBE schools will mark two minutes of silence and hold Remembrance Day assemblies in their buildings to honour our many military men and women and recognize the sacrifices made by Canadians in armed conflicts.
Friday, Nov. 11 – Remembrance Day
All CBE schools and offices will be closed on Friday in commemoration of Remembrance Day. Flags will also be lowered to half-mast.
We invite everyone to take time to honour all who have served our country, to defend our freedom.
