Remembrance Day (November 11, 2026)

Each year on November 11, Canadians observe Remembrance Day, a time to honour and remember the members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have served our country, including those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The poppy is worn as a symbol of remembrance and a way to recognize the courage, service and sacrifice of those who served during times of war, conflict and peace.

Remembrance Day also provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance of peace and the freedoms we have today. As we remember those who came before us, we are encouraged to carry their legacy forward by fostering understanding, respect and peace in our schools, communities and beyond.

Lest we forget.

All BSD schools and facilities will lower their flags to half-mast at the end of the day on Tuesday, November 10, and raise them on the morning of Thursday, November 12, in recognition of Remembrance Day.

All BSD Facilities will be closed on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Classes resume on Thursday, November 12 (School Day 6). Check the full School Day Calendar here: School Day Calendar.
