On November 11th, in the early hours of the morning, dressed in their military best, our Veterans will awake to a sea of Canadian flags. A team of volunteers will have planted over 30,000 flags, blanketing the grounds. It’s truly magical and is important to our Veterans. Each of those flags sends a message: We thank you, we honour you, and we recognize your bravery and sacrifice, and the sacrifice of others who never returned home.
We can never do enough to show our gratitude for all they have done for us—which is why we invite you, our caring community, to send a message of thanks to our Veterans.
At Sunnybrook’s Veterans Centre, Remembrance Day is a meaningful and deeply important day for the Second World War, Korean War and Cold War Veterans who live here—the brave men and women who sacrificed so much for our country.
When our Veterans view the field of flags, they will know that Canadians truly support them. Visit raiseaflag.ca to share your thanks.
They answered the call of duty, offering their lives to secure our freedom. Now is the time to thank our Veterans for keeping Canada strong and free. Please send a message of appreciation to our Veterans today. I can’t tell you how many smiles your kind words will bring to the wonderful men and women in Sunnybrook’s care.
Perhaps someone you love is cared for here at Sunnybrook. Perhaps you’d like to send a message of thanks in honour of your own beloved Veteran. It’s a very rewarding way to pay tribute to Canada’s Veterans, by saying thank you this Remembrance Day.
