Veterans' Week / Remembrance Day
Robertson Library will be closed on Remembrance Day, Saturday, November 11th.
November the 5th - 11th is Veterans’ Week, a week to remember & honour those who have served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace.
November 8th is National Aboriginal Veterans Day, a day to commemorate the contributions of Indigenous veterans who fought shoulder to shoulder with Canadians in WWI, WWII, and the Korean War.
Every year on Remembrance Day, November 11th, Canadians pause in a minute of silence to remember the men and women who serve or have served our country.
Visit the display in the lobby of the Library for resources that cover topics on the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the War in Afghanistan, and the Canadian Armed Forces. Included in the display are materials on Indigenous Peoples who joined the Canadian Armed Forces and fought in foreign lands and books on women's contributions to Canada's military effort, including women from PEI.
Information on Veterans' Week and Remembrance Day is available on the Veterans Affairs Canada website.
