During Morning Prayer on November 8, we held a special act of remembrance to honour and give thanks for all those who have served and sacrificed in times of war and conflict. We marked both National Indigenous Veterans Day, observed on November 8, and Remembrance Day on November 11.
Together, we remembered with gratitude the courage, service, and sacrifices of Indigenous veterans and all who have served, including those who gave their lives in the pursuit of peace and freedom. We also held in our prayers all those whose lives have been forever changed by war and conflict.
We remember. We give thanks. We pray for peace.
Lest we forget.
